The writing was great and the author seemed super thoughtful, but it didn’t really teach me much in the end - just didn’t hit the mark content wise

Reading Great Chat by Josh Smith felt like having the best kind of conversation with someone who just gets it. From the moment I started, it was like Josh was right there with me—not lecturing, but chatting, guiding, and encouraging with the perfect mix of humor and heart. He speaks to you like a trusted friend or mentor, someone you’d call for advice and end up laughing with for hours.
What I loved most is how personal it felt—like he anticipated exactly what I was wondering, and just as the question popped into my head, there he was answering it, casually but thoughtfully. The book covers so much, yet never feels overwhelming. No matter your background, you’ll find yourself reflected in his words and inspired by his perspective turning everyday chats into moments of real connection. It’s smart, funny, and real. Great Chat isn’t just a book, it’s a companion you’ll want to revisit again and again.
