It doesn't require dieting or exercise or meditation, although for health reasons, they may be a good idea. No expensive clothes or cosmetic makeover is necessary, nor is it necessary to have a costly car or home.
The key to winning friends and lovers is to be a great listener, sincerely interested in what they have to say. Almost everyone loves to talk about themselves, their lives, their families, their jobs, their travels, their hobbies and television shows, movies or sports events that interest them.
That is they love to discuss those things with people who make them feel comfortable talking about themselves and who maintain eye contact and nod their heads in interest and ask questions which encourage them to continue speaking. A sympathetic ear or a laugh are also crucial, as is advice if it is requested. This is what a top bartender does and that same bartender will have the discretion not to discuss what was expressed in confidence with others.
Try this with sincerity and compassion and it may amaze you how popular you become.
