In this audio course, Professor Baker presents a set of essential strategies developed in his must-read book, "All You Have to do is Ask" published by Penguin-Random House. These short lessons will help you figure out what you need, who to ask for it, how to ask to make yes the most likely answer, and how to return the favor or pay it forward.
