Helpful hints for anyone who has trouble walking into a room of strangers

Although the title makes it sound more "aggressive," the social tactics and advice given in this book is very useful for people, who have to network, or just want to have an easier time talking to strangers at parties. I read the book and then tried one of the tactics at a Xmas party that evening and it really worked! I ended up meeting a nice acquaintance, with whom I still keep in touch occasionally.
