Nothing really, honestly...

The narration was good, although not much about what King is trying to impress upon one seems to do just that i.e. make some sort of an impression which stays with one, this audiobook sadly was just a long blur to my perspective/conscious awareness....it could be the other factors within my experience of existence that makes that/it so however. My experience of existence is trying. #self effort 💔🌀.

One of the best books i've ever read or listened to on public speaking

Fantastically useful and fantastically dense with insights- one of the most insightful and efficiently written books I've read on topic, certainly on the domain of public speaking.

Not much information about General day today conversation starting

The book spends a lot of time on workplace conversations (job interviews, how to run a meeting, talking to your boss ect.) the workplace information is elementary and dated (90s). I was expecting something to help me start conversations with people outside of work. This is not that book.

Narration!

The narrator was exceptional! I listened to the book while I was cooking. By the time I realized I was listening for a long time, I only had 2 chapters left. I wished it was longer.

Good listen

Good tips for everyday

I liked it and found it useful and easy to understand

Incredible Book

This book has helped me improve in talking to people overnight. It broke down the art of talking to simple elements that made me realize what I was doing wrong in my approach to speaking to people. I went from being nervous to talk to others to being more open and confident in talking to anyone. It was so effective that it not only helped me in everyday social life, but also business and dating as well. It is amazing how many doors will open up just by improving your talking skills. Larry King is a truly a master at conversation.

Learn how to talk

As Larry mention is very important to learn and improve the way we express ourself, it's something you should always have present if you want to be successful. Good communication lead to better understanding, and this is the key to be respected in every situation and gain influence.

Too basic

The book is too basic, loaded and unfortunately quite outdated. Some stories are entertaining but I was not able to relate nor find them useful to apply in everyday life. On a positive side it is a very short book and a good way to kill an hour driving or being stuck in traffic.
