Maybe if I had read it when I was her age, it could have saved me from a world of hurt, or at least put that world in perspective.” —Maude Apatow, New York Times Book Review Can curlers, girdles, Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help a shy girl become popular? Maya Van Wagenen is about to find out. Stuck near the bottom of the social ladder at “pretty much the lowest level of people at school who aren’t paid to be here,” Maya has never been popular.

The real-life results are hilarious, painful, and filled with unexpected surprises.

How to Be "Unforgettable" - Tips for Teens - Personality Management


Book Description

Table of Contents Introduction Learn to Be Your Own Individual The Problem of Being Self-Conscious Now What Was That Word again? Watch Those Mood Swings Are you a Listener or a Talker? Compulsive Talker The Interrupter – This Happened to Me Too, Hey, just Listen, Listen, Listen Actually, I Did Not Mean You/ Mean That, Why Are You Taking It That Way? Oh My, I Am so Shy! Are You Generous in Your Thinking? Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction In my previous books, I have told my readers a number of tips and techniques on how popularity can be gained in a perfectly easy and above board manner. Anybody can be popular, with just a little bit of personality change. So what exactly is popularity, you may ask? In broad terms, it is a state when you are going to be admired, supported, and liked by a large number of people, as opposed to notoriety. Notoriety is also popularity of some sort, but it is a negative type of popularity, especially when you are going to be admired, supported, and liked by the negative elements in society, as someone daring, nasty, feckless, reckless, and dangerous to have around. This book is going to tell you all about tips and techniques on how you can be popular, and it does not depend on your age, gender, race, caste, creed, or political affiliation. It is just the innate tendency of human beings to be liked for their own selves, and popularity is the feeling when you know that a large number of people think you are a good sort of person to have around because they can depend on you, you are sincere, generous, supportive, and most of all, there is no hypocrisy about you in your dealings with the people around you.
