[Wednesday Wisdom] : Superconnector by Scott Gerber & Ryan Paugh

Superconnector is a breath of fresh air. While most books on networking still regurgitate outdated advice which promotes the networking-for-networking's sake mindset, this book couldn't be more different. By attacking this mentality and adopting an approach that focuses on building mutually valuable connections, Gerber and Paugh have presented an effective alternative to boosting one's social capital.

The authors have included radical ideas such as the "Art of Selectivity" and "Habitual Generosity" in the book, aimed at maximizing the value of one's network. It is also chock-full of advice on improving communication, maintaining your online reputation, putting others' needs first, etc. Also of great help were the insights gathered from various super-connectors who have systematically cultivated a community that they can benefit from.

As the saying goes, "Your network is your net worth."Whether you want to invite more meaningful connections into your life, or extract more out of the connections you have already built, Superconnector will equip you with the tools you need to boost your network and get a step closer to the personal and professional success that you have always dreamed of.
