This book contains good advice for anyone with a job that depends on socializing with the general public. I wish more people would read this to improve communication. The format of the audio-book is like listening to a series of TED talks with several authors and voices.

This wasn’t as much a book as a series of “Audio Programs/Lectures”. Some of the sections were better than others.

When I started listening to this, I had some déjà vu that I had heard it before. I had last listened to an audiobook about charisma a few years ago. It had 5 or so sections that were all parts of other audiobooks, put together as a kind of sampler with content related only by topic. I found that sampler lacking, as you got small sections of content that didn’t really complete the thoughts they brought up. It ends up this is also a collection of 5 different sections from different authors/narrators. But this is put together less as a sampler and more as cohesive set of suggestions of how to network, especially for those who don’t feel they are charismatic extroverts. If I recall correctly, 3 of the sections are narrated by an author in a sound booth just like a short audiobook. Another section is a mindfulness and relaxation exercise aimed at preparing one to network to their fullest (“close your eyes”). And the last section is an audio recording of a seminar. The narrated segments are done in a breezy way, much like a seminar but without an audience. There’s laughter and verbal mistakes, but it feels more real than typical narrated audiobooks. I found the advice pretty basic. Much of one section was Dale Carnegie updated with current language. But as a reminder, I found this an OK selection. I appreciated the production and the concept. My expectations for this set were pretty low, and I found this surpassed my expectations.

[Jay Best · Rating 1 out of 5]

It is a decent enough basic guide to holding a moderately adequate conversation.

I just feel other books I have read on the topic seemed richer and more effective.

This book has what I felt was a high level shallow approach where my goals for conversation are passion, authenticity, deeper emotional connection. Better books would be something like How to Win Friends by Dale Carnegie.

I may be being overly judgemental about the book, and I did have to abandon after 20% read.
