Brag!: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn without Blowing It

This book helps bring out the hidden qualities needed to excel in your career and boost self-confidence without feeling conceded or arrogant. I'd recommend this for high school students as well as adults.

I borrowed this book from the library and decided I needed to permanently have it in my archives. I love that she has a lot of real life examples on when to use different "brag bites" based on whether you're talking to a stranger on a plane, an old friend from high school, a coworker, etc. She also has you go through an exercise where you answer questions on things you would be likely to brag about (things you're proud of, places you've traveled, hobbies, etc.). Great resource for the modest type that needs to sharper their brag skills.

It is an easy read.

This book gives you the permission to acknowledge how amazing you are and to let the world know about in the most effective and hearable way.

I bought this book quite some time ago, and although I admit I have never read it cover-to-cover, as is my practice with most books of this sort that I have in my extensive professional library, I have referred to it countless times to refresh my self-presentation technique, admittedly a constant work in progress.I will spare you the angst of my personal frustration when, unable to locate my one copy of this advice on self-presentation, I nearly tore the house apart in my failed attempts at locating it.I turned to Amazon in my efforts to find this book, and despite my creative and endless queries and searching, I was unable to find the title. Fortunately, I found my sole copy buried in a box I was unpacking from a recent major residential move.I was so needing a refresher on the topic of this book, and knew that no other resource would provide the same guidance.Bragging is such a negatively-infused word yet the author gently leads the reader to understand differently. Helping others to understand exactly who you are, what you have done, and effectively, why anyone should ever listen to you is an invaluable gift. Read this book.After my desperate, and ultimately successful, search to find my copy of this book, I bought a few more copies. Yes, a few. Now I don't have to search for it again. I have copies in multiple locations.Most of us can learn more effective methods of self-presentation, self-promotion, and how important it is for others to be helped to know who we each are. We are each unique packages of wonderful experience, gifts and talents. Learn to brag without bluster and bravado. This book will guide you toward that end.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to build their confidence in interviews or everyday interactions. The author gives real-life practical solutions and activities, which serve you in understanding and employing the material. The item was delivered on time.

Great for small businesses

This is a good read for people in business who have a hard time promoting themselves. It is a necessary evil that the author makes natural and sincere to do. It asks lots of good questions to get you thinking and includes strong examples. I wish there was a little more of a "formula" for drafting your personal brag bites, etc.

This book is an invaluable tool for anyone in the workplace. It was instrumental in providing insights to sharing my story in interviews and crating more opportunities for me. Highly recommend it!!

冷静に考えれば「自慢すればいいってものじゃない」ことぐらい、本書購入前に悟るべきでした。。。。失敗。「自慢しないのが美徳」という倫理感を捨てなさいというだけのこと。上手な自慢のテクニックの紹介もなく、自慢嫌いを克服する人間関係、社会関係の洞察もない。読んでも全然、自慢する気にならないのはわたしだけ？取り上げている事例がこれまたヒドイ。だれもがうらやむ経歴と実力を持った人が自慢嫌いで損しているのを救った「著者の自慢話」ばかり。そもそも人もうらやむ実力がある人の自慢成功例から読者が得るものはないでしょう。
