Great points!

Amazing book with great valuable guidance on how to be a better conversationalist. A must read!

How to hold a conversation 101

Great book on how to start, carry, and end conversations. A lot of it is common sense stuff but because of out habit/routine we don’t put it into practice when taking with people.

Was definitely interesting

Fort book I read on this app it was intriguing for sure would touch again

Deeply Insightful

As someone who wants to be a better listener, more confident, know how to connect and also how to read and end a conversation… this makes me feel like I really can learn to do those things. It also helps me understand how to take my feelings of being too self absorbed and a little blind in conversations and give me insights and tips to turn those into a good conversation

Good info

Great tips and wasn’t dragged out. Enjoyed this, had good content and was very easy to learn as I listened.

Listen, 80% listening 20% communication

Great book . I feel I’m great at conversations but I tend to make things odd and I make it about me . I want to become a better at listening and really ask good questions as well .

The fact I had been doing some things mentioned already.

Nothing stood out as a dislike. I was made aware of things I had previously done wrong.

I have adhd and anxiety

having these, untreated, made me dread having conversations, which obviously resulted in loss of connections. I was either too quiet or talked too much. So, I decided to just stay to myself to avoid constant misunderstandings. This book made me painfully aware of how much I allowed my trauma and mental health to effect my growth in conversational/ relationship skills. This was the first book on my journey to understanding/rewiring my brain and I think it was a great start. If you have similar mental health issues, I'm sure you can agree that this gave you some form of self awareness, even if others deem the information "basic". The narrators voice did not sound like AI in my opinion and I liked his flow. Overall, I feel a little more confident in my approach and it was a very easy listen. I will most likely listen again because....well, memory is another issue 😅.

Long book but helped for sure

As someone who is self centered and talks too much this helped! lol thanks 15 word minimum here we go

Good and helpful content

Content of the book is excellent and will be easily executed in everyday life. The narrator was good as well until chapter 6 when you can hear him sucking on his vape every few words. Was extremely distracting and disappointing…but up until that point the book is wonderful…
