Nicholas Boothman
More than 600 corporations, thousands of small businesses, and six of the world’s leading business schools know the better you are at connecting and communicating face-to-face with all kinds of different people, the faster you’ll pull ahead of the competition.
That’s why they contacted Nicholas Boothman.
Whatever you want in this life—true romance, a dream job, a ticket to the Rose Bowl—chances are you’ll need a stranger’s help to get it. To understand this is to recognize one of life’s simplest truths: your life doesn’t happen without talking to strangers..

How to find joy, knowledge and lucky breaks without feeling awkward.
Strangers hold the keys to all the knowledge, joy and lucky breaks you will ever need. There’s not a Fortune 500 company president, Nobel-prize-winning scientist, billionaire, political or religious leader, best-selling author or celebrity who will refute this simple truth. They know that lucky breaks are real and they played a vital role in getting them where they are today.
They also know that these things don’t have a lot to do with luck. They have more to do with who you know, what you say and your willingness to step out of your comfort zone.
Using true stories and action steps Nicholas Boothman shows readers how to naturally and easily connect with:
Familiar Strangers, people they see frequently but never speak to
Consequential Strangers, people they deal with to make their lives happen but don’t really know
Total Strangers, people they don’t know exist until the moment they meet them
Perfect Strangers, people they haven’t met yet but they know can help make their dreams come true
Danger Strangers, people who, right or wrong, set off their fight or flight response the moment they see them
