Good conversation also opens doors to a happier love life, warmer friendships, and more rewarding time with family.

I created this audiobook to offer a process that you can implement, regardless of changes in tools and technology. I want this audiobook to be as relevant in 25 years as when I wrote it.

This should feel more like a friend having a normal conversation with you. I am not that different from you, and I wasn't born with any natural gift in music making.
