Exploitation. Cialdini’s “Influence – The Psychology of Persuasion” or Greene’s “The 48 Laws of Power” explain how you can make others do what you want. Yet, who wants a one-sided relationship besides people lacking the emotional intelligence to feel how they make others feel (narcissists, psychopaths, and Machiavellians)? How can we collaborate with people on a mutual base? Let’s look at that and options how to work together with me, a psychological literary fiction author writing about mental health, cultural awareness, LGBTQ+, kink, and philosophy.
This article will be especially interesting for readers, book reviewers, writers, bloggers, podcasters, journalists, experts and coaches.
The post ends with a special announcement of the virtual summit “Reading Loneliness” that I am planning.

Make it a Win-Win
Good networkers always amaze me. They listen to you; they remember things about you; and they reach out when they run across a way to help you. Of course, you are happy to support them when the time comes. Their key? They don’t make it about themselves, but about your mutual relationship. Yet, not everybody is an extrovert gifted with networking talent who starts months in advance to build a relationship that might one day come in handy (especially not us readers and writers). There’s hope. We can always work on our communication skills. However, let’s start with an even easier step: Let’s think about how we can make a request a win-win situation.
