About this listen
Improving your “small talk” skills is something many people never even consider. That can be a big mistake, especially if you want to get the most out of your interactions with others in your day-to-day life. The truth is that the great majority of all discussion consists of minor chitchat and cordialities. Think of it as the necessary framework supporting all meaningful exchanges.
Small talk is therefore a subtle yet critical part of effective verbal communication, and plays a major role in the impressions you leave upon people. Without proper attention to it, you could end up sabotaging yourself on the more important matters as a result.
This book will help you perfect the art of chitchat until it becomes second-nature. For many communication students, this is the final piece of the puzzle needed to turn one into a master conversationalist. At the very least, becoming confident in your ability to engage in small talk will make conversation more enjoyable and increase fulfillment in your social life. But the potential rewards are so much more far-reaching, both professionally and personally, that it is well worth the relatively small effort to attain.
In How to Master Small Talk you will learn:
- Ways to naturally introduce yourself without being awkward
- Several easy-to-remember methods for starting conversations
- Reliable ice-breakers for both business networking and personal chats
- The 4 key elements of casual dialogue
- Always-safe topics vs topics to avoid
- Effortless ways of keeping conversations alive
- How to ask questions to control a discussion
- Ways to captivate a listener
- The proper role of emotion in making a personal connection
- Listening skills
- How to get people to like you without really trying
- Nonverbal communication
…and much more.
Once you digest this material you just might discover yourself able to direct conversations as a maestro conducting a symphony, artfully moving between small talk and weightier topics in a way that puts people at ease and leaves all participants with a sense of gratification.
It is a talent that will grow with you, and pay lifelong dividends in ways you have yet to imagine.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Very informative!
I've recently revisited this book, either for the second or third time, and I must say it's truly an outstanding resource on initiating interpersonal relationships. It almost presents a grammar that beautifully depicts the evolution of connections with others. Moreover, it offers numerous examples of small talk tailored to various situations. Having listened to at least one other book on small talk, I firmly believe this one resonates with me the most.
