Say goodbye to social anxiety: Master the art of confident communication, and build meaningful relationships with anyone.
Do you wish that you could have genuine conversations with the people around you, but start to doubt yourself before you begin? Maybe you worry that you’ll feel tongue-tied, awkward, or anxious or that you’ll say the wrong thing and offend someone. Perhaps you’ve struggled to keep a conversation going in the past, and it left you feeling embarrassed and disconnected, and you don’t want to feel that way again. If these problems sound familiar, you're not alone.
If you're reading this, you know that communication is important. In fact, almost all aspects of our lives revolve around it, and it can even be that deciding factor that determines the fate of our different relationships. It's critical to understand how to engage in healthy communication.
In this comprehensive guide, you will gain the knowledge and tools you need to overcome the most common communication obstacles.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How to conquer the crippling self-doubt and impostor syndrome that keeps you from expressing yourself with confidence and clarity.
- Practical techniques for mastering your body language, tone, and demeanor, so you can project confidence and approachability, even when you're feeling nervous or insecure.
- How you can handle unexpected challenges like misunderstandings, disagreements, or difficult people…without losing your cool.
- Ways to achieve greater success in life by unlocking the power of communication to build stronger relationships, make a greater impact, and achieve your goals.
- And much more!
This book offers practical advice, real-world examples, and step-by-step guidance, so you can master the art of confident communication in no time.

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

Becoming a Better Conversationalist
This author covers so many potential conversation scenarios that happen in day-to-day living that I'm certain anyone would be able to relate to the contents of this audiobook; but especially for an introvert, the insights shared within are like CliffsNotes for a life-prep exam.
Providing examples and in-depth thought processes to make sense of any conversational deficit, Mr. Richards guides the reader through anxiety-filled situations with suggestions for how to correct incongruous body language messages, what to do when things don't go as planned, and how to improve conversations overall so that they lead to real connection between the participants. If developing confidence in talking to others is your goal, this is your guide. I highly recommend it!

As someone who suffers from a lot anxiety, embarking on the journey of "How to Talk to People (And Not Feel Like an Idiot)" by A. Michael Richards, narrated by the incredibly relatable Corey Katona, was like stepping into a sanctuary for my social anxiety. Clocking in at a concise 3 hours and 12 minutes, this audiobook feels more like a heart-to-heart conversation with a wise friend than a guide on communication skills.

It doesn't just throw generic advice at you; it dives into the root of social anxiety, dissecting it with surgical precision. As I listened, it was as if the author was reaching into my own experiences, unraveling the knots of self-doubt and fear that have hindered my interactions. I loved it and will highly recommend as well !!

This audiobook was very helpful to me. My social anxiety seemed to have skyrocketed after COVID. It explains the basics, which is precisely what I needed, and breaks down the do's and don'ts of everyday conversations, which makes it simple for me to put into action.

Awesome new strategies for me to use!
I typically have problems with a few of my coworkers of being able to wrap up conversations with them. I'm always grateful that they are willing to talk to me and feel confident in confiding in me and such but sometimes it interferes with my work and I cannot seem to get them to understand boundaries as well as me learning how to wrap up the conversation in a respectful manner. The book has a whole range of topics that I found very helpful as well. There are a lot of techniques though surrounding how to gracefully conclude conversations and bow out of the conversation without discomfort or awkwardness.
The complete opposite of a topic that I liked in this book was how to sustain a conversation. My kids struggle with this because so often kids just hide behind their screens. I noticed when they are with their friends and they try to ask how things are going and the other one answers, that's kind of the end of the conversation. So I have been sharing these tips from the book with my teenage daughter on how to make the conversations last longer and be more meaningful.
One other way I found this book useful was when the section about filling in the awkward silence. That is for sure my husband and I just started a new job so I had him listen to the chapter so that he didn't give first impressions of making awkward jokes that only he laughs at.
I found many people that could use this book so I am very happy to have got to listen to it.

Communicate like a professional! Great Audiobook!
"How to Talk to People (And Not Feel Like an Idiot) The Communication Skills You Need to Cut Through Social Anxiety, Connect with Anyone, and Spark Engaging Conversations" By: A. Michael Richards :I enjoy how the author organized this book such that it is straightforward and simple to read. It will teach you how to project yourself correctly, have the right tone, and use body language to communicate effectively. It will also help you become more confident in your communication skills. One of the things that appeals to me is the way it demonstrates how to ask good questions and deal with conflict when it occurs. Thus, this is for you if you struggle with self-expression or communication, or if you lack confidence. I highly recommend this audiobook!
