How to hold a conversation 101

Great book on how to start, carry, and end conversations. A lot of it is common sense stuff but because of out habit/routine we don’t put it into practice when taking with people.

Great points!

Amazing book with great valuable guidance on how to be a better conversationalist. A must read!

Deeply Insightful

As someone who wants to be a better listener, more confident, know how to connect and also how to read and end a conversation… this makes me feel like I really can learn to do those things. It also helps me understand how to take my feelings of being too self absorbed and a little blind in conversations and give me insights and tips to turn those into a good conversation

Was definitely interesting

Fort book I read on this app it was intriguing for sure would touch again

Information problem: great book beside the following

This doesn’t get a 5-star rating because it seems like some information could be revised in the book; in chapter 3, about 23 minutes and 50 seconds, he mentions Brazil; he claims they speak Spanish. I know this is an idiotic point, but Brazil doesn’t speak Spanish. The national language is Portuguese. If the author or publisher could revise this accurately, it would be taken more seriously. But it’s hard to see legitimacy when examples don’t seem authentic or factually correct. Other wise great point definitely topics I have practice as a leader in my company, gave me more self awareness about creating better conversations.

The fact I had been doing some things mentioned already.

Nothing stood out as a dislike. I was made aware of things I had previously done wrong.

Good info

Great tips and wasn’t dragged out. Enjoyed this, had good content and was very easy to learn as I listened.

Listen, 80% listening 20% communication

Great book . I feel I’m great at conversations but I tend to make things odd and I make it about me . I want to become a better at listening and really ask good questions as well .

Easy to understand

It was easy to understand with the voice actor being clear and concise. The book was that of interests, as it allows me to gain more information and insight in reading conversations. It was a good read and I would recommend this book to my friends.

Amazing Book!

We often approach conversations as if they were battlegrounds, engaging in a war of words and vying for dominance, rather than perceiving them as a collaborative tennis match where the exchange is balanced and reciprocal. This insightful exploration of conversational dynamics offers profound wisdom on enhancing your intrapersonal communication skills. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to elevate their dialogic proficiency!
