How to Talk to Anyone

92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships

De: Leil Lowndes

Narrado por: Joyce Bean, Leil Lowndes

"You'll not only break the ice, you'll melt it away with your new skills." -Larry King

"The lost art of verbal communication may be revitalized by Leil Lowndes." -Harvey McKay, author of How to Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

What is that magic quality that makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover). In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their “Midas touch?”

What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people.

The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone, Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques - she takes the listener from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed audiobook you’ll find:

• 9 ways to make a dynamite first impression
• 14 ways to master small talk, “big talk,” and body language
• 14 ways to walk and talk like a VIP or celebrity
• 6 ways to sound like an insider in any crowd
• 7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone
• 9 ways to feed someone’s ego (and know when NOT to!)
• 11 ways to make your phone a powerful communications tool
• 15 ways to work a party like a politician works a room
• 7 ways to talk with tigers and not get eaten alive

In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you’ll remember them when you really need them, including: “Rubberneck the Room,” “Be a Copyclass,” “Come Hither Hands,” “Bare Their Hot Button,” “The Great Scorecard in the Sky,” and “Play the Tombstone Game,” for big success in your social life, romance, and business.

How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner's Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter) is based on solid research about techniques that work!

By the way, don't confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil's previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!

Hard to get by the Narrator

This book's recipe:
-Some really good information
-Water it down by over wording descriptions
-Add a dash of man hating
-Top off with a monotone female version of Holden Caulfield

Yes, I really did not like the narrator. She mentions, near the end of the book, that she is tone deaf, which every listener knew from the begininh of the book. However this made me wonder, If she knows that she is tone deaf, why the **** would she narrate her own book; on; communication??

Great book

reminds you of all the little things that make us wish we were the successful happy person in the room. The best part is she shows you how to be that person.

Both good and bad

Book started out very interesting. Then throughout the book, there were long patches of boring and useless information. Some of her advice seemed pretty far fetched for me. She was a terrible name dropper. I guess she was trying to elevate her status and believability, but it turned me off. I think that would not be advice she would ever offer.

I didn't care for the narrator. I sped it up to 1.25-1.50. Much better at this speed.

It's worth a listen but be prepared to skip to the end of different chapters if it gets a little weird.

Voices

The material was pretty good. The narrator is horrible. My grandma would probably enjoy this book because of the voice

Life Changing!

I finished it in 2 days, but the impact some of the little tips were felt right away! I'm going to relisten to it at least 2 more times. The advice given in this book is powerful and can make all the difference when trying to move forward in life, or your career!

Good

loved it. It was an easy listen and I would recommend it to my friends and cohorts.

Great easy advice

Loved the book. Good examples, Easy to follow. I was really sad I finished the book, I wanted more!

Great Read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I will read it a 2nd time! Tons of great information!

she's good, leatned a lot. 😎

she was very informative some of the things I learned from her I applied right away and it worked so now im liked by many, too many. I'm going to have to be a little more selective on who I apply these techniques to. Thanx

WOW!!!!

This book made me look at conversating in a whole new light, Thank for the insight
