How to start actually liking social interactions

The author provides a practical guide that will help you overcome your fears and become more confident in social situations. The book is easy to read, and the techniques provided are backed up by research and real-life examples.

Amazing book

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Being an introverted person who feels socially awkward and inadequate to initiate and sustain meaningful conversations with others, I found this book very helpful in learning the skills that I need to conquer my social anxiety and master my interpersonal skills. The chapters I found very helpful were Small Talk Guru and Being Natural. I loved the examples the author used to prove his point. The narrator fits well. If you have this anxiety about talking to others, then this book is for you. Worth listening.
