This audiobook gives easy tips on how to talk to people and feel less nervous. I liked how each step was clear and not too long. As a mom, I don’t get much time to practice social skills, so these quick lessons were helpful and made me feel more confident in everyday chats even with other parents at school.

The part about active listening and using body language was especially useful. It’s not just for young adults but I think anyone who wants to feel more comfortable around others can learn something from it.

Transitioning from small talk to meaningful discussions can be daunting but it is totally doable. I liked the advice to talk about anecdotes at hand, such as talking about a movie you’ve both just seen, for example, and turning it into something like, “oh yeah, that movie reminded me of a road trip I recently took,” and go from there. This is a great way to keep conversations going and to also get to know someone in the meantime. It’s simple hacks that make this title super useful for just about anyone, even if they think they are a great communicator and conversation starter! I also really enjoyed the “creating a safe space” methods for creating more open and honest conversations-these were so helpful! Thank you Lorie Eubank for these discussion-hacks.

The audiobook delved into the nuances of conversation – from making a great first impression to actively listening and keeping the conversation flowing. It addressed those moments we've all experienced, like feeling stuck or not knowing what to say next, and offered practical strategies to navigate them with more confidence and ease. I especially appreciated the emphasis on genuine curiosity and showing a real interest in the other person. It shifted the focus from "what do I say?" to "how can I truly connect?"

The narrator kept it light and easy to follow, which made the whole thing feel more like advice from a friend than a lecture. Great listen if you want to feel more natural connecting with others.
