| Summary | "The Man Who Pleases and the Woman Who Charms" by John A. Cone is a self-help guide emphasizing the art of personal magnetism and social grace, likely written during the early 20th century. This work discusses various qualities essential for attracting and pleasing others, covering topics from manners and conversation to the subtleties of dress and charm. The book targets both men and women, seeking to provide insights into how one can enhance their interpersonal relationships and societal presence. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for its central themes by exploring the concept of personal fascination, often perceived as an innate quality. Cone refers to prominent figures, like James G. Blaine, illustrating how charisma can be cultivated through attentive listening, memory for names, and genuine interest in others, rather than relying solely on physical attributes. He argues that true charm and the ability to please lie in understanding and appreciating the emotions and desires of those around us, hinting at practical ways to develop these skills. As the narrative unfolds, it lays the groundwork for subsequent advice on conversation, good manners, and the significance of personal presentation in charming oneself to others.
