The Hardball Handbook: How to Win at Life

With his more than forty yearsâ€™ experience observing people and politicians in our nation's capitalâ€“ten of those years on Hardball, five nights a weekâ€“Chris Matthews has learned from the pros what it takes to be a success. Now Matthews shows us what we can learn from the worldâ€™s most accomplished people and, more important, how we can emulate their best habits to improve our own lives.

In The Hardball Handbook, Chris Matthews focuses on four areasâ€“friendship, rivalry, reputation, and successâ€“and shows how we can cull the best traits of others and use them ourselves. Matthews takes us on a raucous road trip through political history and points out the bestâ€“and worstâ€“behaviors of some of its most notable characters. Written in the assertive, good-natured style that is Matthewsâ€™s trademark, each chapter has something to teach us. Here are a few truths from The Hardball Handbook:

â€¢ People would rather be listened to than listen.
â€¢ People donâ€™t mind being used; what they mind is being discarded.
â€¢ People are more loyal to the people theyâ€™ve helped than the people theyâ€™ve helped are loyal to them.
â€¢ Not everyoneâ€™s going to like you.
â€¢ No matter what anybody says, nobody wants a level playing field.

Once you understand these and other universal truthsâ€“and how to make them work for youâ€“youâ€™ll be ready to win at life.
