Good guide to smooth talk.        Rating:

I got a lot out of this book. I really liked the nuances in it that have helped me to increase, as it says on the front cover, my social effectivness. It really has helped me to be more comfortable when out and about. I highly recommend this one, along with The Art of Seduction.

The Genesis of my Self Help Journey        Rating:

You know, when I first found out about this book it was at a Barnes & Nobles. I just randomly pickup this book and start reading because I feel like connection with other people via conversation area of life can always be improved for everyone.

For some reason, once I started reading this book, I was hooked. Most book I flip through once but this book made me keep going back and finish reading it.

After I finished it I shall move on to another book, right? NO, this book actually has some much content and actual examples of conversations and I MUST BUY IT. It is one of the MUST BUY book on your bookshelf if you want to learn about the art and science of having conversations with others.

There is another book I DO NOT recommend is How To Start A Conversation And Make Friends by Don Gabor because it only tells you WHAT TO DO and never mention the HOW TO DO IT part.

Conversationally Speaking give you a little WHAT TO DO part and massive amount of HOW TO DO IT part to back it up.

Want to get all your money worth and more, GET THIS BOOK ~ ~ ~

P.S. By the way, this book is my initiation into the self help/self improvement journey. Thanks to the book and thanks to its author.

Excellent        Rating:

This book is fantastic for adding to your ability to start up conversations or help one continue when the conversation kind of dies off. Many many good suggestions on how to avoid one word answers and boring conversation.

Highly recommend.

Useful information for just about anyone.        Rating:

This book is full of easy-to-digest and act-upon suggestions for improving your conversations and putting yourself and others at ease. I wouldn't describe myself as shy, but I often have awkward moments where I run out of things to say. This book helped me realize that I ask a lot of close-ended questions, and I've noticed a positive difference now that I ask more "why" and "how" questions. I also found chapter ten (requesting change) to be particularly useful. If you are very shy or have trouble being assertive, you may find chapters 12 and 13 (reducing your anxiety in social situations and organizing your efforts) especially helpful. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book.

Practical principles to apply.        Rating:

Good info. You can use it like a workbook. It discusses things such as how people see you and how to sharpen your social skills. It analyzes examples of people's social interactions and shows you how to do better. It even teaches you how to converse with others who may not be very skilled conversationalists.

After reading the book I was able to recognize improvements I needed to make and I felt I had the necessary information to make those improvements.
