How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

Something was nagging Marina Shifrin. As a freshly minted adult with student loan payments and a “real” job she hated that paid her enough to get by if she also worked two other jobs, something needed to change. Marina and her friend each made lists of 30 things they’d do before the age of 30. The first thing on Marina’s list was, “Quit My Shitty Job”. So she did, and just like that the List powered her through her twenties. Told with humor and heart, 30 Before 30 will entertain, motivate, and challenge listeners to get out of their comfort zones and live their best lives.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment.

Pretty Good for Self help book
First if you go into any book thinking it is a Gospel truth panacea to anything you are going to lose.
What this book does well is break down separate ways of being shy and has 85 actionable ideas to address them, not all 85 are for everyone since there are different sorts of shyness. Each "Shybuster" illustrates the problem, solution and reasonings by using anecdotes from Leil Lowndes real life, shared wisdom and citing academic sources. Putting these “Shybusters” in real-world experiences allows you to weigh them out, some of the “Shybusters” are more valuable than others depending on your circumstances. I take it as 85 ideas to try out and not the 85 commandments written in stone.
The one thing she does which is kind of laughable is she claims she was shy however if you listen to the stories she goes from a girl in high school and college attracting all the boys, to being an energetic elementary school teacher, to a flight attendant to a social coordinator on a cruise, she also is constantly calling acquaintances from her past to check up on them something a shy person would never do. However even though I do not believe she was ever cripplingly shy I feel getting into the mind of an outgoing person who has felt shyness and overcome it sort of resets you and puts you in the mind of success. Also, if you look her up online a young Leil Lowndes looks like a blonde Katherine Hepburn, too hot to be shy (one of her anecdotes was about attracting more men than the bunnies at a Playboy Club).
The book is organized into small parts so you can digest in bite sized mini-listen sessions. I listened to it in the car or when I am working. I will re-listen a few times with some emphasis on different sections to allow the "Shybusters" to soak in more, also feel like to get the most out of it you should take notes, journal, do the exercises she says and ultimately set SMART goals with them and take the real-world actions. One downside to audio format though is the lost value of having the written list in front of you to reference, wish she had something like a cheat sheet published somewhere with notes for audiobook listeners.

this should be required reading / listening for anyone who has trouble making friends or being in public. the observations and presentations offer great insight. the list of 100 questions everyone should have an answer to at the end of the book is worth the price of admission.

Good, easy to follow advice
Information well presented and explained. Great examples of it in action. Practical suggestions for implementing. Always enjoy Ms. Lowndes’s writing.

Annoying
Annoying says it all. This book had no useful information other than the occasional references made to actually studies.

Not useful
I listened to about one third before quitting. This book has very primitive information, sprinkled with few good points that are not elaborated on enough. Author is clearly not a professional psychologist. She refers to the reader as "the shy", which is annoying and strange. Also made me think of the type of the information people used to have about introversion 40 years ago, like some vague concept. Modern psychology offers amazing studies and strategies, which don't seem to be are reflected here.
