See customer reviews on Amazon →Karen Wickre's book reads like a calm conversation: short chapters, informal examples, and ready-to-copy openers and follow-ups. It is strongest as a low-pressure field guide — quick lines you can paste into messages and simple pointers for staying in touch. The pacing is breezy, so it's easy to skim or to read in a single evening. Annoying stretches arrive when the same reassurance and similar examples recur; the book offers little on building high-volume outreach systems or tough sales scripts. If you wanted role-play drills, detailed metrics, or a strategy-first manual, you'll probably feel under-equipped.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
