- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“How to Start and Make a Conversation: How to Talk to Anyone in 30 Seconds or Less” by Chris Gottschalk is a book that is meant to help people who may be shy or awkward when starting a conversation with others. Mr. Gottschalk covers many areas such as social anxiety, rejection, and self-esteem as possible barriers to some when it comes to conversation. He further delves into body language, making small talk, how to leave a conversation, how to have conversations with new friends and even how to ask someone on a date!Mr. Gottschalk does a good job with breaking down the importance of conversation and how to overcome some of the difficulties people face when trying to initiate conversation. I liked that he covered how to talk with potential friends and romantic interests. And just as important and starting a conversation is the ability to end a conversation. Although a lot of this is common sense, it helps to really understand what may be holding you back by seeing it spelled out in print. Mr. Gottschalk does not talk down to the reader but makes the reader feel understood. Do I think this book will change shy people over night? No. But it can help a shy person build up the skills to overcome their fears and make conversations more appealing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Before there was Facebook and Twitter, there was a thing called talking - actual face to face communication. In the book How to Start and Make a Conversation you'll learn how to talk to anyone in thirty seconds or less. You may think this is easy and just text somebody, but in the competitive business world, or just life in general, good communication skills are required. The book's target readers will be mostly shy men and women who have a hard time getting up the nerve to talk to someone, but it can easily be used by students, teachers, business owners, etc. The author quickly takes you through the basic reasons of why conversation is important in our society. There are many reasons why someone can struggle with communications, like social anxiety, fear of rejection, self-esteem, etc. Throughout the book you'll learn about how important body language is; speaking to a stranger in thirty seconds or less; how to make small talk; how to leave a conversation; communicating at work; making friends; the romantic art of conversation; and learning how to communicate in the social media world. This book sparked my interests because I have always been a shy person and, for the most part, avoided small talk. At a social or family event, I would just to into the other room and avoid the conversation. How to Start and Make a Conversation is a great read for shy people, or anyone who wants to brush up on their social skills. There are many helpful tips to get a person through an awkward situation, including starting conversations/small talk at work (even learn how to talk to your boss) and even starting a meaningful conversation on a first date. If you are having any sort of trouble communicating, need to brush up before that big job interview, or are just looking for topics to discuss on a date, then I would recommend this book.
