After reading this, I still don't know how to talk to anyone.

It's a great conversation piece if you want to carry it around so that others can talk about you.

I haven't read the book yet because I'm too busy picking up the pages that come loose. Don't know what kind of binding it has but first time I opened the book to read three pages fell out. Hope the writing is better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful book for young people entering the workforce or for anyone who feels socially challenged!
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022
While the primary topic is how to talk to anyone, King also details what not to say and when to remain silent. Schools no longer teach these types of soft skills, and neither do most corporate training departments. Readers will arm themselves with the tools they need to advance themselves, not only in the workplace but in social circles as well.

Many young people don’t really know how to communicate past texts and Twitter. This book is a step-by-step way for them to come up to speed on what they need to know to succeed in life and business!

Reviewed in Germany on May 18, 2022

Grateful for your work in writing this. You really pointed out a lot of holistic views based from fundamental and good base assumptions. And you also started these assumptions off from good root points.

The points are concise, well natured and good.

Take care.
