Hugely informative, hugely enjoyable
Any additional comments?
As my subject says, this was a hugely informative but also hugely enjoyable book to listen to, really helping me with everything from shyness to making small chat and actually mostly with dealing with an upcoming wedding and upcoming job interview. I feel more prepared, more relaxed and more realistic.
Terrible cover but great book! :-)

Misleading title
A more fitting title would have been "why some people experience anxiety in social situations". The author spends half of the book talking about how new technology and childhood experiences influence adult communication skills, so if you are after this sort of analysis then this may be a book for you. The rest of the book is spent on a quick summary of well-known techniques (eye contact, mirroring, displaying interest, etc). It finishes with random advice on how to behave in special situations like a job interview ("call ahead if you are going to be late") and giving a public speech ("rehearse it") which have very little to do with actually being able to talk to anyone. The book is primarily focused on managing anxiety when engaging with others, so if anxiety is not your number one problem, or if you are looking for a collection of quick-win phrases or topics that would help you to talk to anyone, as the title promises, then you will be disappointed. The tone of the book is neither preaching not condescending so +1 for that.

Helpful, realistic, useful and surprising
Any additional comments?
Much much better than I expected. I had heard good reports about this book but took me a few months before i took a chance on it…and i am very very grateful i did. I found the book to be full of genuinely good advice whilst still keeping on the right side of realistic.
Very happy wth my purchase, already listened to it twice and picked up different new things each time.

Excellent book!!
What did you like most about How to Talk to Anyone?
It increased my confidence. The book was not all about talk, talk, and talk, it was about more. There were humor and incidents. I listened to the book thoroughly and found every piece of information and instructions helpful.
What about Rachel Austin’s performance did you like?
Yes I loved her performance, she was calm and very persuasive.
Any additional comments?
Jennifer Alison has done an excellent job with this book. Being a good communicator is not easy, not everyone can communicate smoothly or confidently. The book not only encourages to speak but encourages to listening too. It is not a plain book, asking a person to talk well, it is written in a way that reader is obliged to talk.
I can feel the change in me since I listened to it, My friends are amazed to see that I talk these days. Back then I used to be a nerd in a group who don't talk, I was shy to talk, this book uplifted me in a way I am pretty certain none another book can. Moreover, Rachel Austin's performance, the narration made it easy for me to understand. A recommended book.

Concise advise - a simple reminder
Really enjoyed the book. Great to help you reflect on bad habits you have formed as you have aged. Ladies voice seemed robotic. I had to speed it up. Quick, conise and insighful is what I got from this book. It is the pep talk you need before i.e. an interview.
