Hands down, this is one of the best self-help books I’ve ever read!
This book is about conversations. It’s relevant for anyone who cares about improving their relationships . . . one conversation at a time.
Starting with Lesson 1 on building rapport, I have been able to apply Ivan's principles to my conversations. I'm thrilled with the immediate results I’m seeing.
I talk with clients and prospects every day. When I got to Lesson 2 on using questions skillfully, I realized I’ve been making a big mistake in the way that I've been asking questions. Ivan provides specific strategies on how to ask questions. I admit I was doing it wrong! By applying his techniques, you can change the direction of your conversations, and strengthen your relationships.
Success hinges on relationships. If you want to improve your performance in business, read this book!
In this book, Ivan offers ten lessons that enable you to have better conversations. He provides examples of how to apply each of the strategies. Applying these techniques takes practice. Lifelong habits take time, effort and desire to change!
I've been an avid reader of self-help books for decades. I've read many popular relationship books such as How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, and The Speed of Trust by Stephen Covey, and How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People by Les Giblin. Ivan’s book belongs on the shelf right next to these quintessential classics!
By the time I got about halfway through this book I realized that Ivan's book is one that will stand the test of time like these other great classics. If you love reading self-help books, this one is a must to add to your list!
This is a book I plan to read and study over and over again, once a year or more, until I’ve mastered the techniques.
It’s obvious that Ivan respects the opportunities to converse with others, and he knows what a difference it would make if everyone did the same. His compassion and humility is evident in how he handles conversations and how he gently offers advice to his readers.
Ivan has studied over 10,000 conversations, yet he’s humble enough to admit that he will continue to find ways to improve them. I respect self-help authors who are committed to lifelong learning and mastering their expertise!

This isn't a book I would normally have chosen to read on my own, just because it appears to be marketed more towards the higher ups of the business world, of which I am not. However, this book is actually for everyone. Everybody has conversations and everybody can learn from this book. I picked up some tips on how to talk to my boss as well as my significant other, and I am excited to try them out. Fingers crossed for either a promotion or a marriage proposal lol. Even if the only person you talk to is yourself, you can benefit from this book.

Mr. Farber should be commended for his straight forward and easy to follow concepts on how to have effective conversations. I’ve really viewed the book as something I reference daily. As such I have highlighted my book, folded pages, and given many copies away. I can’t say enough about this book! Buy it, read it, and all your conversations will improve!
