Success in every walk of life depends the most on how well you can interact with others. "Few people consider their lives failures if they have not mastered the calculus, memorized Chinese ideograms, or learned how to play chess at a championship level. Instead, what we all struggle with -- and gut-wrenchingly so -- are our relationships with other people" (O'Toole, 1999: 54). You could of course acquire interpersonal skills through trial and error by learning from your own experiences in life. However, this could involve a huge cost for you and others. For example, learning through trial and error how to interact with one's spouse or one's boss intelligently may be expensive for the person as well as for others in terms of emotional energy drained, career failure, or broken relationships. This course will take you through the accumulated wisdom on interpersonal skills. After all, wise people learn from others' experience and from the accumulated wisdom.
