Summary: Not much content....don't waste your money..
Comment: I read this book and throughout, I kept thinking, "When will the author give us concrete tips?" The author gives such "sage" advice as it is important to understand others in order to communicate with them...or in Great Britain they eat the continental way...being well groomed is good..., etc. There is significant section of the book devoted to handwriting analysis -- what?!?!? She goes through a chapter that includes a Myers-Briggs type analysis but doesn't explain how to use this to give a good first impression. She details multiple "success stories" where she took someone for a good haircut and helped them buy expensive clothing (she is a big fan of extremely expensive clothing although she doesn't explain why) -- but no useful detail: i.e. a blue suit is better for this person because..., here is how to determine if a jacket fits correctly..., this type of haircut was selected because..., etc. Since when does handwriting analysis occur in the first three seconds? She never gives a satisfactory explanation as to why she keeps trying to get everyone to join certain clubs or what they do there that will improve one's image. I wasted $13.95.

Summary: First Impression
Comment: I am aware of the importance of the first impressions but I did not care so much. This book tries to help you really understand its importance in corparate world. I am going to be more careful from now on.

Summary: Wonderful Career Advice From A Professional!
Comment: One on one consultation with First Rate professionals such as Mrs. Lavington can be extremely costly. Here we have an opportunity to pick up her pearls of wisdom for the price of a paperback book. This is a bargain! YOHTS is packed with good solid everyday and tactics that can be used to advance one's career or prevent others from derailing it. There is a downside: I believe that the younger one is, the more he/she will benefit from YOHTS. While it's true that "it is never too late", the earlier in life one is "wised up" the better. I certainly wish that I had encountered this sooner than I did. The upside is that this is NOT a Machiavellian, sneaky, manipulative font of advice. Rather the author concentrates on advising her readers to parry the outrageous thrusts of the manipulative types we have all encountered on the job. Like any good self help work, YOHTS is not to be devoured in a few sittings. One should read carefully, take notes, think about it and let the advice sink into our everyday-working behavior. A personal note: About ten years ago, my church group invited the author to a one-day seminar. I was totally impressed with Mrs. Lavington's poise, sincerity, professionalism and obvious knowledge of the real world. I wish I had hired her then. Rest assured that this lady is on the level. Readers can take her advice to the bank. This reviewer would especially urge younger amazoners to read YOHTS early in your career. Thank me later.
