Better Small Talk

If you have seen the movie "Jaane bhi do yaaron" a comical masterpiece. It starts on a banal note. However it picks up so well that it glues you to your chair.Similarly when I started reading this book, it felt hackneyed, but after a few pages it becomes so interesting that you do not want to stop reading it.Written in a lucid language, gives you the right tips to act on. The philosophy i loved was "Look inside you, are you interesting...if not can you be. Build yourself" Many a times while conversing we forget to listen to what the other has to say. Focusing too much on what we have to say. Making it a monologue rather than a dialogue. The book instills techniques to change this thought process.

Gives actionable advice on how to improve talk and conversations in general.

Author offers plenty of tips and tricks on how one can improve small talk skills. Being interesting and interested in others is a very important skill.

One of the best book i have ever read till date. It is worth every penny, people should buy it.

Patrick’s book was awesome; and I’ve also bought a few more in his small talk series to go deeper with.I am on a lifelong quest to become a better communicator, and found there was a handful or two nuggets of wisdom I hadn’t yet thought about or used in my approach yet.One personal love of this book is that in each chapter he summarized the key takeaways, but once again at the end he gave a chapter by chapter summary.After breezing through this book in 3d; the summary and condensing of the key points is crucial for me to quickly extract the key takeaways. Great job, Patrick! Look forward to the next one.

Very effective guide, well written, brings me to think about myself in a different way because of the 6 chapters brilliantly gives new points of view, becoming comprehensive and interesting.

If you have ever thought about what makes a good conversation or how to improve your conversational skills you have come to the right book. Easy to read, lots of information clearly set out. I particularly thought the recaps at the end of each chapter and then at the end of the book were very useful.
