    About this audiobook

    You've admired successful people who seem to have it all, seen them chatting confidently at parties and being listened to in business meetings. They're the ones with the best jobs, nicest parties, and most interesting friends.

    But they're not necessarily smarter than you or even better looking. What it comes down to is their more skillful way of communicating with other people. Now How to Talk to Anyone reveals the secrets of successful communication. With Leil Lowndes's easy and effective techniques, you will discover how to become a master communicator in life, love, and business.

    Combining the latest research with Leil's trademark wit and warm-hearted observations of human foibles, How to Talk to Anyone shows you how to make an unforgettable entrance and meet the people you want to meet; sound like an insider in any crowd, no matter how little you have in common; use body language to captivate audiences of all sizes; work a party the way a politician works a room; and always come across confident, credible, and charismatic wherever you are.

      Re-read--excellent advice
    • 4/5
      A useful collection of tips for social interactions. I found many of the tips in this book to be very helpful.
    • 3/5
      How to be more confident with conversation.
    • 5/5
      Awesome Book.
    • 5/5
      Breve, buenos ejemplos y muy aplicable. Altamente recomendable para todos.

      Muchos de los ejemplos son muy aterrizados y no necesariamente tienes que aplicar todo el conocimiento que aquí se plasma pero sin duda te hará muy sociable. Está comprobado que la genética promueve tus habilidades sociales pero estos tips confirman algunas actitudes si las tienes o te ayudan a alcanzar habilidades suaves muy gratas si las quieres.

      I just love her voice! Listening to this was like sitting and having a chat about life with my grandmother.
    • 4/5
      Good quick, informative and concise refresher before any big social event!
    • 2/5
      Disappointedly this is mainly aimed at business and networking, a couple of good general tips but unless you're a total sperged out shut-in there's not much here you won't know already - "listen to what others say" etc
    • 3/5
      This book contains some good tips that it will be helpful to be more mindful about. And there are a few tricks that left me shaking my head. In audio form, I thought the author came across as overly bubbly.
    • 1/5
      Very disappointing for four hours book. I don’t recommended .
    • 4/5
      The part where rote that by mentioning the names of a caller several times during a telephone conversation gets their attention
    • 5/5
      I started listening to this audio book in hopes of finding more effective ways to communicate with other people: primarily strangers. I have faced extreme social anxiety for a number of years now, and have been looking for a guide on how to conduct myself and I believe I have found just that. Leil is an amazing conversationalist and she gives better advice and strategies than I have ever heard before. After hearing this book just once, in one sitting, I've realized how much I really need to work on in terms of my personal communication habits. This is also one of those books that you should keep re-visiting if you're serious about bettering yourself. I highly recommend all of the other books by this author as well. I've gotten my ears on two so far and I am by no means disappointed with them. A definite must-listen-to in my book.

      Have to adjust to the speaker's voice for a bit, but great short audio book. If you wake up before six you can have a new set of communications skills to try before work at 10!
    • 5/5
      the rating i give this book is A+ , it's really helpful with facts & marvelous stories related to the author. . today i finished reading it and i am amazed with the outcome i got from it .
    • 4/5
      Sweet and succinct. With clever devices and memorable anecdotes, Lowndes assembles a quick and easy guidebook for those searching to make better impressions.
    • 2/5
      Currently have this audio book on my iTouch. Started it ages ago but found it quite boring and repetitive. Better off reading "How to win friends and influence people" or "The power of positive thinking"
    • 1/5
      I think I would really like this book, but the voice reading it is probably the most annoying voice I have ever heard.

      I can't pinpoint why but this was strangely off-putting.

      I love these short, 90s ('sort of), campy, phony-get-ahead audiobooks. This one wasn't short and campy enough.

      It is written in a great, analytical way that breaks down human interpersonal behavior in a way that you can internalize.

      Nothing you couldn't figure out for yourself if you really wanted to!
