Full of insights that will prove useful at work, at home, with friends, and just about everywhere else, the book will help readers become tactful schmoozers who can defuse situational tensions and lubricate personal, social, workplace, and political interactions with others.\n\nThe book is organized around five occasions: schmoozing in social interactions, family schmoozing, schmoozing in the workplace, schmoozing in education, and schmoozing in cross-cultural interactions. Examples of both successful and failed schmoozing are drawn from television, films, news, and everyday life. Hundreds of real-world verbal interactions illustrate how recapturing this lost art can lead to increased harmony in all spheres of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-3\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"images\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71tzHkRmbsL.jpg\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row panel-container\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-4\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-success\"\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003eFast and Free Shipping\u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n                You're already purchasing the item.
