About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The best-selling business classic on the power of relationships, updated with in-depth advice for making connections in the digital world.

Do you want to get ahead in life? Climb the ladder to success?

Master networker Keith Ferrazzi says the secret is in reaching out to others. As he discovered early in life, what distinguishes highly successful people is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins.

Never Eat Alone: Expanded and Updated lays out the steps and mindset Ferrazzi uses to connect with thousands of colleagues, friends and associates: people he has helped and who have helped him. This form of connecting to the world is based on generosity; Ferrazzi distinguishes gen­uine relationship-building from crude glad-handing.

These practical, proven principles include: don't keep score (make sure other people get what they want, too), 'ping' constantly (reach out to your contacts all the time—not just when you need something), never eat alone ('invisibility' is a fate worse than failure) and become the 'king of content' (use social media to make meaningful connections).

In this classic, global best seller, you'll discover the timeless strategies used by the world's most connected people, from Bill Clinton to the Dalai Lama. And you'll learn how to transform your own network, career and life.

Started slow or maybe just didn’t resonate with me and my position, but improved for me as it went on - some great advice, reminders and stories - well worth a listen

Overall really good

I can’t hear anything after the narrator says ‘because’ like a 13 yo teenager 5 times in a row. If you have misophonia, this book is not for you.

Alright but the narration is horrible

I was inclined to give this a 3 star but there was some enlightening content towards the end which piqued my interest. I didn't give it 5, mainly because it felt like a bit of a drag! It's a long book and personally the narration wasn't engaging me. I tried it at 1.5x but ended up listening at 2x speed. There are some useful tips and examples. Again with many of these self-help books a lot of them seem common sense after you listen to it. I do think some of it may work more in the US vs UK. Overall, it is a good book and appreciate the author putting so much content and depth into it, maybe could be chunked up better or better narration.

Very in-depth tips

Lovely book, with amazing insights on networking and how to improve and strengthen your relationships with the people that matter most. I'll be happy buying the actual book soon so I can study this beautiful piece over and over🥸

Network masterclass

great book about why networking is really important that goes in-depth about how, when and why to do it.

but it does leave you with a dread that you're not doing enough with your life

kinda anxious inducing
