Beyond simple small talk: what to say and when to say it to be likable, connect, and make a memorable impression.
Actionable and applicable verbal maneuvers for just about every phase of conversation - good and bad. Whatever your conversational goal, you’ll find tactics to put you in a winning position - in a literal sense with arguments, and in a figurative sense with making friends. You can never underestimate the power of a simple conversation.
No more interview mode, awkward silence, or struggling to hold people’s attention.
Conversation Tactics is unique. It provides guidance for every social situation you’ll come across, including what should I say, hello, how was your weekend, I disagree with you, stop doing that, here’s a story, and goodbye.
You’ll find 100% actionable, nuanced, and subtle tactics to salvage your worst situations and enhance your best - all field-tested and proven through thousands of conversations. In addition to shrewd insights to make conversation flow, you’ll learn to win arguments and diffuse dirty tricks.

Pretty good considering the topic
Better than other books I heard so far. Probably a must for everyone who did not hear too many of these.

You may already be aware of most of the points
Great as reminder of strategies to use during difficult conversations. The narrators descriptions and explainations were great and helped me mentally place myself in the scenarios and remember those I've encountered. Will listen again. Would buy this on offer rather than full price, unless you have no prior knowledge. It does feel like a longer read than it is ina few places.

Packed with fascinating info
This book is absolutely worth the read, and almost certainly warrants a 2nd or 3rd read as well, as concentration of useful information is so high, there’s no way you could catch it all in one go.
There’s no forced life success stories, subtle religious undertones, or pointless red herrings with way too much detail.
There was not a single moment in this book where I felt it was filler. I’ve seen reviews on similar books with reviews that claim they’re “straight to the point” and “waffle free”, but trust me.
It’s well structured, examples of use are given for nearly everything covered, and the humour is not forced. This of course is complimented by how well it’s read.
My most useful takeaway is the conversation resume, but I also have a whole notes file of quotes that I found motivating or just clicked with me as well.
If you have to pick a single book on this topic, for goodness sake choose this one.

Fantastic start
I feel that the first few chapters were extremely helpful but after the chapter explaining active listening and how to give proper compliments I think the direction of the book kind of lost its way, but there are a lot of helpful things in the beginning chapters I will take away from this so if you are having trouble leading or starting conversations I would recommend having a listen

human interaction explained gently to an alien
I will be looking up more work by the author, concise, non condescending, and simple methods.
I wish I could give this to a younger self.
