listening is truly an art

This fellow has great narration.
i enjoyed this (all his books) very much.
I deal with folks daily up close and personal
and see what I do right and how I can improve.

Worth your time if you want to eliminate awkward silences

This audible is short and succinct. It tells you what you need to do to become better at banter. It is easy to listen to and I feel much more confident about going to talk to vendors on a conference floor. The strategies the author provides are easy to remember and has reduced my anxiety when it comes to approaching people at mixers and networking events.

Easy to Understand and Execute

The exercises are encouraged and explained in great detail, offering an interesting perspective on daily conversations.

Missing link to other conversation books

This book is short and sweet. The author connects the dots between many techniques that I have heard about having good conversation. His ideas are practical and easy to start while his examples of successful and unsuccessful attempt gave me several, “ah ha” and “awh shoot” moments. I feel more self aware with a guide to improve.

Exactly what I was looking for

As someone who's have social anxiety through most of my life, I´ve listened to A LOT of conversation/talk/socialization self-help books, I found this one really concise and accionable. Don't be afraid about the author trying to shoehorn in jokes because this is inspired by improv comedy techniques, the information is straightforward without being dry. It even made me curious about studying improv techniques more in dept to help me out with my socialization.
