Just finished the book. It was very superficial. Great advice overall, but it was about a 25 min read for me - should have been a blog post. He sort of just listed off things that should be done without going into any depth on how to do these things (good example: Be a good story teller! How? Read Shakespeare and the like and model your stories off that! Really?)Also he could use an editor. Lots of typos, some to the point of a sentence not making sense at all.
If you had it, you wouldn’t need this book written by a real pro. Most of us don’t and can use some help. Get it here and banish fear of social embarrassment. There is nothing worse. It’s a social world and I don’t want to get left out, but I hate rejection. If you do too, you will find this material of value, particularly the art of conversation. You will also understand how you are perceived and how to improve your image with others. I like the part about “social triggers.” Shy people get hope. It’s like a big pat on the back.
I believe that I knew what some of these things were but did not have names for them until I read them so clearly laid out by Mr. King. I do see them very clearly now and I think that he is very right in saying that they are the keys to happiness in your life and everything that you would want. Who does not want to be more social and gain more friends? I sure do and learning social habits is a very big part of that.
Let me just talk about the one exercise at the end of the book that King promises will improve your social confidence immediately. I'm not going to give it away, but it is legit and it works like a charm.I'm pretty pleased with it and this book is worth the price for that exercise alone, and how he explains what you should gain from it. Book is great, two thumbs up.
Thanks to this book, now I am more confident to finally face an audience of business prospects. And why not? The habits and mindsets presented are all amazing! Also, the exercise to instantly improve social confidence was very helpful. I will recommend this book to my future business associates.
Unlike other self help books I have read this book outlined several techniques that can be practiced to develop social fluency. I would recommend this book to any one looking for tips on how to develop lasting friendships.
We have been taught that social skills are very important to have a great and fulfilling life. Even thought many people believe they are introverts or unsocial the author states that everyone can learn how to develop our social skills and become friendlier. I recommend this book, even if you think you are a master! Everyone all can improve their way of interacting with other people.
I have been working on my rather introverted character and this book helped me a lot to just accept me more for who I am and how I am.I now engage conversations more easily and I am quite looking forward to it. I am "unapologetically me" as the author suggests and this makes it all easier.I really like a lot of practical tips in the book and the cheat sheet at the end to regularly come back to.I wish the paragraph on storytelling was more detailed (how exactly do the different types of storytelling work?), it is so fascinating and such an amazing eye-opener for me.All together, a great book to enjoy more the art of small talk and to allow to deepen conversations easily.
