Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Definitely a worthwhile listen.
Young’s book offers a lot to learn from if you, from time to time, experience those awkward silences and dead air when trying to make small conversations. It covers the basics on topics to avoid as well as ideal conversation starters you can keep a mental note of as a social being. Build your confidence in making meaningful and genuine connections from the many learning from this book.

Good advice, helpful exercises.
I like this book. As someone who has struggled with conversation in the past, I'm familiar with some of the issues mentioned in the book. I love the exercises and suggestions for overcoming fears, and how the author approaches this as a series of small victories to be won, rather than an Olympic venture.

Amazing!
There are other books on small talk but this one is particularly worthy of attention on two grounds. First, it's particularly explicit about dos and don'ts, with crystalline examples. And those tips are aimed at average people--you won't be intimidated. The book's second core differentiator it's focus on the quality of your voice which, alas, can make as much difference as what you say.

Very practical.
I’ve found this book to be helpful in my own communication journey. Since I started this book a few weeks ago I’ve noticed improvement in my social interactions. I especially thought the tip about recording was helpful. Some advice I would give to anyone listening this book is to record yourself practicing these techniques.

Both good advice and good exercises to learn!
15 Social Practices of Saying the Right Thing in any Situation offers a lot of good advice with many examples. I liked how easy it was and understand how to help open up a little more in social situations. I am somewhat shy but mostly I was looking for a book to help me at larger gatherings. I do well talking one on one with people but can be overwhelmed in social gatherings with a bunch of people This book has exercises to help get your mind in the right place to better handle situations through mindfulness exercises. Then there are the practice exercises and the exercises to help let go of the fears you have. I found all of these to be helpful. I also liked his examples as they seemed true to life. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their social communications no matter whether they are at work or at a party.
