Love the point on focusing outward, and the quote from Dale Carnegie – I have read win friends and influence people 3 times now, and I learn more from it each time – so key to focus on others and get interested in them! Thanks!

Most people in this blog simply seem to “eat” all you say and believe all you say without criticizing. Not all your arguments are strong and some of them can even lead to disorganization which can psychologically lead to a pathology, or a less good behaviour.
Per example, reducing the relationships you have with people to mere thoughts in your mind can make you accept more offensive behaviours than normal, thus damaging your overall social image (which you never mention).
You can’t be mister nice guy all the time, actions have consequences, and you also need to learn how to deal with it when someone takes an offensive actions against you – there is no choice in here, you can’t simply not “see” a punch in the face as an OK action.

I could counter-example more of these tips, but I won’t be doing it. It is overall a good post and I believe your feedback is positive and genuine and so I should be encouraging you. I do feel the obligation of leaving this fair warning: people should listen to your messages, but ALWAYS with critical sense and careful analysis.

I truly wish you good luck on selling your book. I even felt inclined to buy it myself

Thanks for the tips . I’ll try and apply few of them if not all . I particularly liked tip no. 4 where you said one should try and focus outward rather than inward . Yes sometimes we give too much importance to ourselves . We should show interest in others and become friends with them rather than waiting for others to approach us first .

Great post! I especially love the tips on stop being boring and being genuine. Those would definitely be my top two bullets on how to improve your social life. Nothing turns me off more than someone that tells me every detail of their day or that doesn’t know how to be themselves.

Thanks for your post!

Great insights. I particularly like “your relationships are in your mind.” It is true that we create our own realities based on how we filter information through our beliefs and paradigms. Attitude matters.

The other aspect of this post I like is about not building walls. This relates to how we bid for and respond to bids for connections with others. By not bidding, or by closing down others’ bids, we build walls that make relationship growth impossible.

Love #6, being genuine! Being authentic and genuine is a gift to those you are in relationships with! People can always sense who is real and who cannot allow themselves to be real. It is a gift to be genuine…and it is always returned by the receiver…how could it not be?
Thanks again for some wonderful pointers Henrik!
