How to Avoid Nine Mistakes That Are Harmful to You

Author Name: Duke Robinson

This book assumes that we all make such mistakes in countless everyday social interactions characterized by complexity, unpredictability, and social risk. Therefore, for each alternative behavior, there is a series of possible steps to follow in a dynamic and somewhat open-ended process. Therefore, you must be flexible about which steps to take, when to take them, and in what order. For example, you don't always have to start with step one. Sometimes you may want to skip a step or two, depending on the timing and severity of the situation you are facing. Sometimes you may need to repeat a particular step multiple times, but once you master these steps, you will have the skills to prepare appropriate responses in each situation as you move forward.
