  worked his way up from Pennsylvania steel mills\, through the Ivy League\
 , and into a number of executive positions\, all before he was 40. Along t
 he way\, he developed and honed a set of core networking strategies that h
 e shares with readers in Never Eat Alone. Key to his brand of networking i
 s generosity: approaching relationships from the perspective of giving mor
 e than you get. Ferrazzi suggests “the currency of real networking is no
 t greed but generosity\," a focus on building real and lasting relationshi
 ps. To present his interpretation of relationship building\, Ferrazzi divi
 des his book into four sections (“The Mind-Set”\, “The Skill Set”\
 , “Turning Connections into Compatriots” and “Trading Up and Giving 
 Back”). To read Jeff Regensberger's section-by-section summary and downl
