Always Know What To Say – Easy Ways To Approach And Talk To Anyone
Who is this book for?
“Always Know What To Say” is for anyone who wants a straight to the point explanation of conversation skills fundamentals. I point out key distinctions you can apply right away to go from being tongue tied and unsure of what to say to having fun meeting people and getting to know them better. If you read AND apply what I cover in the book you`ll make steady progress and become much more at ease talking to people.

Good Book but be careful of the come-on,
I read one review that sounded like, “if you’ve been alive for a few years you won’t need this book”. Something about being raised with wolves, etc. Even if you’re good with people this book is a good refresher. Before retiring I spent my working life dealing with people and was very successful in this regard, even with the most difficult and demanding, but I still enjoyed the book. It’s a short and easy read. But, beware of the part where the author suggests downloading his free audio. It’s just a come-on to purchase. His web site address takes you to a page where you must enter your email address to gain access to the download, but then you’re doused with all kinds of information designed to reach into your wallet. I didn’t download the “free” audio.

Simple Strategies for Entertaining Conversations,
If you are a shy person who finds it difficult to communicate with new people then this book will be helpful. Peter Murphy presents conversation starters, explains body language and teaches you what to ask people when you first meet. This book contains simple strategies for entertaining conversations. With this book anyone should be able to survive a party or talk to strangers on a plane. I personally find that listening to people talk about their life is a good way to make people like you. Being a shy person by nature I found some of this book to be very useful. If you are an introvert I’d also recommend you read: The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World.

Waste of time,
This ‘book’ reads like a Powerpoint presentation. There’s no depth to it, no substance, just headings and a few sentences to make the headings look expanded upon. They’re not. I’m guessing it took the author about an hour to put together – half that if he used his actual Powerpoint slides. It’s a waste of time, offers nothing of value, and shouldn’t be offered on Amazon, even if it is free.
If this is a topic that interests you, try Leil Lowndes’s book “How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships.” It’s a meaty book that actualy addresses the questions this book only pretends to address.
