Publisher's summary

If you’ve always wanted to converse easily with strangers but the awkward silences have held you back, then pay attention....

Are you sick and tired of not being able to network with ease? Have you tried endless other solutions, but nothing seems to work consistently? Do you finally want to say good-bye to social anxiety and discover something that works for you? If so, then you’ve come to the right place.

You see, conversations don’t have to be difficult. Even if you’ve tried pretending you are an extrovert (how did that go?)! In fact, it’s easier than you think.

This book will reveal how can communicate effectively with different types of people, in all types of situations, including meeting strangers and getting them to talk, all without suppressing your natural introvert tendencies.

Here’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll discover:

  • How introverts and extroverts differ - and why it’s perfectly okay to be an introvert
  • What makes different types of people tick - and how you can adapt your approach to get results
  • How to overcome anxiety by taking care of what you need most as an introvert
  • What body language signals are saying
  • How to adopt an open body stance that says you are approachable
  • Why looking at your phone is the worst thing you can do during an awkward moment
  • How to ask open questions that will have strangers talking to you in no time
  • What likeability is and how you can increase yours
  • Small-talk tips specific to introverts
  • Self-care for introverts
  • And much, much more

Take a second to imagine how you’ll feel once you have made a few forays into meeting new people at events and how your family and friends will react when you are the one talking about the interesting fellow you met at a networking event!

Insightful and inspiring

The authors included several stories that help the reader visualize the concepts. I found myself putting the book down so I could reflect on the subject briefly before continuing. Highly recommended.

A Book For Beginners

Who should get this book? If you’ve never heard of the importance of no verbal communication, how certain gestures can be offensive in other cultures, and know nothing of personality typing methods like DISC or Myers-Briggs, then this is the book for you.

Most of the recommendations are too commonsensical to justify paying for the content in this book.
