How To Talk To Anyone By Leil Lowndes - Paperback

Easy to read and useful

i enjoy reading it. very useful techniques and expanding knowledge in communication and self-presentation.

Item received well.

Good content and easy to read.

This is a good book to read. I enjoyed and learned a lot.

The way the book is designed in short chapters each ending with a concise take away makes it very practical, easy to read, but also fun viewing the nice stories the author adds from her life experiences. However, I think the book is more useful for those who are building communication skills from scratch, not necessarily for experienced readers. Moreover some chapters seemed outdated to me, not sure if there is a newer version of the book. I am referring to the chapters that address communication over the phone mainly. Overall still enjoyed the reading and surely it will benefit many who are looking for practical and nice tricks in communication!

Good

Recommended 5/5

Excellent book

Questo libro si è rivelato un regalo davvero riuscito per mio marito, che lo ha apprezzato moltissimo. Il libro è scorrevole e pieno di consigli concreti su come migliorare la comunicazione e creare connessioni più efficaci con le persone. Lui ha trovato utili soprattutto i suggerimenti immediatamente applicabili nella vita quotidiana, sia sul lavoro che nelle interazioni sociali. Non è il solito manuale teorico: ogni capitolo offre consigli da mettere in pratica. Regalo perfetto per chi è interessato a migliorare la comunicazione!

Książka warta uwagi!

Very good book, many reflections

There are a lot of good techniques in here that make a lot of sense and can be used straight away. Most are relatively short and easy to dip in and out of. I appreciate that the purpose of the book is most likely just that...a book of tips and tricks, but the book could be so much more if there was a little more context behind it. A lot of really good advice comes across as very superficial, with a focus on making yourself more likeable to the 'big players', rather than to improving and creating more meaningful relationships in general. The book is great as a reference for some handy hints and tips, but amongst all the references to glass ceilings and tigers, st times you feel like you're just learning ways to climb the corporate ladder and win the rat race, rather than connect with people in a more meaningful way and express yourself more effectively. It seemed to me that it was very easy to lose sight of why better relationships are important, and there was a strong focus on just trying to impress powerful people (for example if a CEO spills a drink over you it should be ignored and never mentioned but if a friend takes too long to write down an address given by an important client you shouldn't risk introducing them to any 'big players' again). The context and meaning behind the tricks are the glue that help them to flow together, and I think that there would be a lot of scope to include more detail on how to use these techniques to better connect with people and express yourself better.
