Brag!
The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It
Warner Books, 2003
Aperçu
It’s not nice to brag about yourself. But if you don’t, no one will ever know you’re there.
Recommendation
Do you believe that it is unseemly to brag about yourself? Well, Hall of Fame pitching great Dizzy Dean would differ with you. As he said, “It ain’t bragging if you done it.” Author Peggy Klaus agrees wholeheartedly. In this book extolling bragging, Klaus explains that strategic self-promotion often is the best way to avoid being overlooked (and possibly downsized) in the dog-eat-dog business world. Of course, when you brag, you should not seem to be doing so. Klaus explains how to accomplish this dodge gracefully. Anyone in business could benefit from Klaus’s savvy advice. Just don’t be a “brag bomb” and let all that success go to your head.
