Young professionals race to another boring party so they can be seen and shake hands with someone who might be able to help them-just like the business books and podcasts have instructed. Creatives are chronically obsessed with and depressed by the number of likes, views and followers on their social media. Anyone embarking upon a new path or business venture has heard the key to success lies in \u003cem\u003enetworking\u003c\/em\u003e-who you know, and how they can get you ahead. But, according to Mark H. Maxwell, this is not only untrue, but potentially dangerous to those hoping to succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNetworking Kills\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003elays out what the Bible and Jesus say about true success.

Even music business super-manager, Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber) says, 'Don't live for yourself...Live for others...that is where you will find true riches in life.' The heart of networking is rooted in selfishness, taking and using, while the great leaders teach us that true success comes through giving, loving others and serving generously.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNetworking Kills\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eMaxwell shows how: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetworking\u003c\/strong\u003e kills creativity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetworking\u003c\/strong\u003e kills authentic relationships\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetworking\u003c\/strong\u003e kills life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetworking\u003c\/strong\u003e kills love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe then lays out the amazing benefits that can come from living a life that is focused on service: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003eerases fear of failure\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003eerases conflict\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003ecreates purpose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003ecreates value\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003ecreates provision\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing \u003c\/strong\u003echanges the world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNetworking Kills\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e proves that to experience \u003cem\u003etrue \u003c\/em\u003esuccess and fulfillment, and in an effort to obey God, this lens of serving must become the basis for all of our daily decision-making and our major life assignments.
