The art of conversation and how to apply its techniques

by Milton Wright

"Yes, the ability to talk well can be cultivated, because it is an art, and each of us has some capacity to start with. As is the case with any art, there are underlying principles about which there is no secret; for the application of these principles, there is a certain technique, which, though flexible, is just as clear and definite as the rules which apply in music or any other of the fine or applied arts. Practicing these rules will develop your skill as a conversationalist. How swiftly and how far you progress will depend in some measure upon how much ability you have to start with, but still more upon how earnest is your desire to improve. After all, the technique of conversation is not complex."The Big Blip Publishing Company is glad to bring you the electronic version of this amazing book first released in 1936. The examples and techniques presented by Milton Wright are still relevant today. You will improve your conversational skills and personal relationships while gaining an incredible insight into the mentality and culture of the beautiful 1930s. "if you find you can hold only one principle before you as you talk, let it be desire only that you please the people with whom you are talking. If, in doing that, you can forget yourself, then you have learned the innermost secret of the art of good conversation; all the rest is a matter of technique."
