Im a lot better

My ability to handle different social situations, to be able to communicate to anyone in any situation has increased MASSIVELY since listening to this book.

I can't think of higher praise than that.

great into book

found this to be a beginner friendly book, more about how to over come the fear of communicating socially. I was more so looking for a advanced book.

AMAZING book!

I was recommended this book by several people and I can see why. As someone who has struggled with shyness (especially in social situations) all my life, I was relieved to finally find something that ACTUALLY helps. Loads of practical advice, much of which I had never heard before. I am eternally grateful to the author.

Great book, narration was distracting

The narrator breathes into the microphone quite loudly which makes the break between sentences sound like a gasp of fright.

I found the narration distracted me from the content.

Empowered!

I recently listened to "How to Talk to Anyone," and I have to say, it's unlike any other self-help audiobook I've come across. The advice and methods shared were truly original – nothing like the typical clichés you often hear.

What I appreciated most was its emphasis on authenticity; it reminded me that confidence comes from being true to yourself, not from trying to fit in. Plus, the practical tips and exercises made it easy to apply the strategies in real-life situations.

Overall, it's been a game-changer for me in becoming more sociable and confident. Highly recommend giving it a listen if you're looking to break out of your shell!

Such basic info for people

I hated this book. I just wanted to know how to work up the confidence to go talk to an attractive guy at my gym. This book is apparently for legitimately socially inept people who have been living under a rock their whole lives with no social skills whatsoever.

Not as it is advertised

This book is for people who have social anxiety and a lot of shyness. They may find it helpful. I was looking for a book that provides me with techniques to rope anyone into a conversation and keep them interested in it not to overcome shyness.
