The Hardball Handbook: How to Win at Life

The Hardball Handbook: How to Win at Life

With his more than forty yearsâ‚¬ experience observing people and politicians in our nation's capitalâ‚¬â€œten of those years on Hardball, five nights a weekâ‚¬â€œChris 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‚¬â€œfriendship, rivalry, reputation, and successâ‚¬â€œand 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‚¬â€œand worstâ‚¬â€œbehaviors 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‚¬â€œand how to make them work for youâ‚¬â€œyouâ‚¬ll be ready to win at life.
