Reviews

[Katherine]

25% helpful, 25% somewhat offensive and/or discomfiting, 50% common sense. I don't think I would like this author if I small-talked with him at a party.

Revele algo a seu respeito, relacionado a essa realidade compartilhada. Foque em si mesmo, e em qualquer relação ou contexto relacionado a isso.

Incite seu parceiro de conversa com uma revelação. Use as informações pessoais do passo 2 para fazer uma afirmação ou pergunta que leve o seu parceiro a lhe responder, avalie a reação dele, partilhe o próprio relato, e faça- o se envolver.

Uma semelhança significativa é um traço, emoção, sentimento, experiência formativa... medo, insegurança, vulnerabilidade, ou aspiração que você tem em comum com outra pessoa.

quanto mais você sabe sobre um assunto, mais fácil de falar com alguém sobre ele

Faça uma leitura fria. Uma leitura fria é uma afirmação ou pergunta que faz uma suposição corajosa sobre seu interlocutor com base em algo que ele tenha dito anteriormente na mesma conversa. Pode seguir logicamente sua declaração anterior, ou pode ser apenas uma afirmação que você lhe impõe. Realmente não importa o caminho que você decida seguir - se você estiver correto sobre a suposição que fez, então de repente você é tão perspicaz quanto Sherlock Holmes e extremamente intuitivo.

A prova social é facilmente reproduzida em nossa vida diária, observando como as pessoas reagem às outras, o quanto anseiam por falar com elas, como falam sobre elas, e quantas pessoas falam sobre elas – quanto mais/melhor, maior será a prova social e o status relativo que você poderá alcançar, e mais as pessoas vão se sentir com sorte quando conversarem com você.

Clearly above many communication books that are out there. I have enjoyed the read. The insights were delivered clearly and it was easy to understand.

Read the book, take the tips laid here and practice. This is the most effective way to obtain results.

THIS IS THE LAST COMMUNICATION/SMALL TALK BOOK THAT I READ. THE TIPS ARE GOOD, BUT MY REALISATION IS THAT WITHOUT PRACTICE AND CLEAR GOALS THEY ARE USELESS. take action!

[Jennifer Gamboa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really need this book, but when I read it in the past I focused on the one thing I didn’t agree with and never read the book again until four years later. This is a good book but it is not a read it and put it on the shelf. This is a read and practice, review and tweak what you tried the first time that didn’t work so well. Practice until it becomes natural. Read it like you have to teach it to someone else.

[Maddy Stringer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Most of it was common knowledge and it was slightly offensive in places, but overall, it was an easy, interesting read

[Deepak · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you will apply all the rules of this book,its life changing...

[xicongo · Rating 2 out of 5]

muito americanizado, errudo da galera

[Rachel · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm sorry I wasted $8.99 on this book. As people have mentioned in their reviews the majority of this book is common sense and the remaining portion is crude and fairly tasteless. Perhaps Patrick King's other work is worth reading, and that is why I gave the book two stars as opposed to one.

[Diego Eis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Livro super condensado com práticas e nada de bla bla blá-blá-blá. O autor vai direto ao assunto e separa em pequenas lições e exemplos sobre como podemos desenvolver melhor conversas ou estimular que pessoas conversem melhor.

Todas as dicas são extremamente válidas, mas precisa, pelo menos pra mim, de muita pra prática. Eu tenho a impressão de que se você dominar um ou dois pontos do livro, o resultado já será incrível.

[muctaru mujtabah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth the read for the price

Very good pointers for someone like me who is inexperience in starting and keeping a conversation. I've definitely learned a lot and I'm looking forward to putting some of these tips in to action. I highly recommend this book.

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great and helpful book. I just wish there was more organization.

[Diego Petrucci · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very, very basic introduction to how to have better conversations. Most of the people will find it common sense, but I guess some socially-inexperienced folks will discover a few good pointers.
