About this listen

Or, maybe you were quite social in your younger years, but as you have gotten older you have become more socially anxious, and you want to revert back to your previous self.
Whatever the reason is, if you suffer from social anxiety, this book is a must-read.
Small Talk Made Simple discusses 31 different techniques that you can use to avoid social anxiety and lead to genuine conversations.
Say goodbye to awkward interactions and missed opportunities, and turn yourself into the life of every social event on the calendar.

- What social anxiety is, and why so many people struggle with it.

Strike Up a Conversation with Anyone, Connect to Others on a Deeper Level, and Establish Stronger Relationships It can be hard to know how to start or maintain a conversation, especially with people we don't know very well.

Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.
