Story
If you’re like most of us, you openly admire and, maybe, secretly envy those who can stand fearlessly in front of a crowd and deliver an inspiring speech effortlessly. But what if you could be one of these chosen few? What if you could make your message clear and powerful and turn passive listeners into excited followers? Yes, you can do it even if you’re introverted. If you think that you’re “just not cut out for public speaking”, stop and think again. Don’t let your amazing ideas wither away unheard.

Mindfulness is not about complicated and otherworldly woo-woo spiritual practices. It doesn't require you to be a part of any religion or a movement. What mindfulness is about is living a good life (that's quite practical, right?), and this book is all about deepening your awareness, getting to know yourself, and developing attitudes and mental habits that will make you not only a successful and effective person in life, but a happy and wise one as well.

In our ever-changing world, the need to interact has never been more important until now. As nations vie for economic and social importance in the comity of nations, friction occurs and with that comes the threat of war. And when every form of interaction dissolves, all forms of lies that negates either party abounds, anarchy reigns. The Cold War of the late 19th century and early 20th century is a testament to this fact. We need to talk, to interact more. It is from this interaction that many of the solutions to the world’s problems lies.

What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

Effective communication is at the heart of all rewarding human relationships. The ability to both express oneself and to understand what someone is expressing to you is the foundation of making any relationship more fulfilling. Conversation is what separates us from all other species. It’s our ability to exchange ideas, views, and feelings with one another through the magic of spoken language.

Man is a social animal; whether we think of ourselves as introverted or extroverted, we need to have people around us. Interacting easily with others has not only been linked to better health and mood, but it is the catalyst to better friendships, relationships, or business opportunities. At a time where computers and virtual reality keep decreasing our ability to interact in real life, the skill of being socially savvy is more valuable than ever.

Sharpens interaction skills
Simple Small Talk" delivers so many practical lessons for any level of English speaker. As a native English speaker it might be easy to take for granted or forget the power of small talk since we use it as a tool to transition into and out of daily scenarios. This book brings greater awareness to not only the techniques of small talk, but also a greater understanding of the associated human behaviour. These are particularly helpful lessons for someone keen to sharpen their interaction skills as small talk is not always about talking, it also has much to do with social judgement and perspective. Highly recommended! Worth my 5 stars!

Worthy book to expand your little world
I'm generally shy and tend to avoid small talk because it doesn't feel comfortable or natural to me, but this book has helped to shift my mindset a bit and put the concept of small talk in a new light where I can appreciate the potential benefits I may be missing out on by avoiding small talk situations. I realized by listening to this book that there are many possibilities and opportunities that are being presented to us day by day. It is through the practice of constantly improving ourselves and coming forward towards expanding our own little world that we attract the many possibilities of a more colorful and purposeful life.

A compassionate book for the socially anxious
This audiobook will help you to get you to the next level of conversation skill and I have found all these methods are very much effective and quite easy to follow. It provides effective confidence-building strategies that speakers can try when participating in a range of different social interactions. Very basic knowledge but outstanding real world practical use. I have read the best books in this topic and this one’s pretty simple in comparison. However, I find it unique, that's why I just kept listening. Things I’ve heard before wrapped in kind and genuine words to help those who are struggling to communicate everyday with people and strangers. If you are sometimes socially anxious, if you are overly conscious, if you are afraid of what other people might think, and if all that is hindering you to enjoy even simple social interactions, then this is the book that cares about all that. It’s the most compassionate book I ever read on the art of conversation.

Confidence booster for young adults
It’s a great book for young adults I think who may need some guidance and some self-esteem boost to overcome shyness and some self-limiting beliefs.I got a lot from it and got some helpful tips on starting conversations. Got a lot of tips on real good ideas for icebreakers and what to say during small talk. Helpful and full of useful advice and techniques to help with conversation skills, small talk, overcoming shyness, and knowing what to say. I particularly found the parts about being more assertive and how to make a connection within a few minutes of small talk really useful. I was always worried about people’s first impression of me and can’t bring myself to believe that that shouldn’t matter because it does. It is not often that we get another shot at connecting with someone, whether romantically or for other purposes such as networking, friendship, business or career related. Often, everything depends on that final few minutes where it starts and where it ends. Sometimes it’s shorter than that. Less than a minute or a few seconds, your chance is gone. So, before you miss a lot of chances everyday to connect to the people you intend to connect with, you better listen to what Gerard Shaw has to say in this book. It is enlightening, inspiring, confidence boosting, and richly informative. Thankful for the knowledge, wisdom and confidence I found in this book.

Not helpful
It's a basic "What not to do" guide. it has cringey example interactions that are so obviously littered with poor chat it's no challenge.
It doesn't appear to set off on the correct foot of how to start and maintain a conversation, just "don't ask colleagues their pay" "don't mention a divorce".
Would be better explaining how to build a conversation, then mentioning red flags to avoid
