One of the only books I have read over the years that actually helps me see significant social changes. Granted, there is work and practice involved, but it’s worth it and I enjoyed doing it (probably because of the results). More than 1000+ real life actionable examples. It is one of my favorite if not the top social skills book I have.It focuses more on actionable, how-to, approaches vs the generic fluffy advice that so many books offer. Warning: Don’t buy if you want a quick, easy read! This book is hardcore social skills!Amazon reviewer wrote:I’ve purchased books that have 90% fluff in them like “be funny” or “be a good listener” but zero value in actionable steps to improve your conversation skills.Those points may be true but at some point YOU have to talk and say something.The author in my opinion has created THE definitive guide to becoming a great conversationalist. He has demystified and has deconstructed exactly what an excellent conversationalist does and says to open,hold, and connect during a conversation. I have always envied people who seem to be talk with strangers, friends, and the opposite sex with the most exciting stories/life experiences, opinions, observation, & witty comments but had zero idea what they were doing that seem to come to them so naturally. Finally this book details exactly how to be that person.It is no exaggeration that there are over 1000+ real life examples in this book. These real life examples are what other social-improvement books lack as the 1000+ word-for-word examples are the actionable steps/techniques to transform you into an fun/excellent conversation partner that I’m so excited to learn and practice. The book details exactly how, what to say, how to build & live your life so you are generating a conversations storage tank to always have things to say, how to improve your words and make it exciting/funny. It’s also a sort of self-discovery book since it forces you to think about what opinions or observations you have about a multitude of topics & encourages and shows you how to be active in life to generate those great life experience stories to share & make others laugh. There’s a certain type of humor/banter/teasing that guys talk with each other or even flirting with the opposite sex and this book again includes word-for-word real life examples to teach you how to learn these skills.Table of contents:HABIT 1: SENSE Chapter 1: First, Listen to Yourself ■ Chapter 2: Watch Yourself ■ Chapter 3: Increase Your Conversational Awareness ■ Chapter 4: Aim to Be More LikeableHABIT 2: GROW Chapter 5: Fill Up Your Conversation Storage Tank ■ Chapter 6: Keep Growing ■ Chapter 7: Expand Your Word ChoicesHABIT 3: ASSERT Chapter 8: Adapt the Active Mindset and Initiate with Anyone ■ Chapter 9: Initiate with Feeler Statements ■ Chapter 10: Start Small with Small Talk ■ Chapter 11: Expand Your Range of QuestionsHABIT 4: SHARE Chapter 12: Paint Your Portrait with Effective Self-Disclosing ■ Chapter 13: Share More Effective Observations and OpinionsHABIT 5: ASSEMBLE Chapter 14: Learn How to Effectively Support Your Comments ■ Chapter 15: Build More Interesting and Engaging CommentsHABIT 6: CONNECT Chapter 16: Offer Connectable Opinions and Topics ■ Chapter 17: Be Connectable and Maintain the Conversation ■ Chapter 18: Listen and Grow the Conversation Together
