It's not out until tomorrow but Danny Wallace is always a good read..

F*** You Very Much: The surprising truth about why people are so rude

Bestselling writer and broadcaster Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Awkward Situations For Men), is on a mission to understand where we have gone wrong. He travels the world interviewing neuroscientists, psychologists, NASA scientists, barristers, bin men, and bellboys. He joins a Radical Honesty group in Germany, talks to drivers about road rage in LA, and confronts his own online troll in a pub.

And in doing so, he uncovers the latest thinking about how we behave, how rudeness, once unleashed, can spread like a virus – and how even one flippant remark can snowball into disaster.

As insightful and enthralling as it is highly entertaining, F*** You Very Much* is an eye-opening exploration into the worst side of human behaviour.

Yes Man is an excellent book, very funny and a fascinating experiment too

I think it would be great if someone or more than 1 could come up with a system/strategy partly based on Nick Mordins ideas and say Peter Webbs.

Thought I would rephrase this
I think it would be great if someone or more than 1 plural.could come up with a system/strategy better than 1persons . eg Nick Mordins time strategy (Mordin on time) and 2. a basic strategy about trading
