Narrator is irritating
Interesting but not really mind blowing. One thing I hated is the narrators voice and the way he speaks, it is so irritating, it's like he's trying to sound so cool and laid back but it was just distracting.

Introduction to Conversation
This is a book for people who have only recently begun speaking with other humans. The scientist or med student who looked up from their books to notice humanoid life forms passing close to them and decided to attempt communication. Not a bad thing but if you have any facility talking with people you won't learn much here.

Nailed... My innate??
He did a really great job at laying down what he had. Thing is, I already knew and do much of this book like I breathe.
Also it sits on the verge of my personal morals. He says it's not manipulation, yet I can only support that if when you follow his guidelines that you reeaaalllyy ARE interested. Otherwise.... It's manipulation.
Liked it. Just didn't learn anything new.

Tips for sociopaths
This was OK but the underlying agenda and leftist overtones really diminished any lessons that I should have received from this book.

Political and terrible!!
What would have made Conversation Tactics better?
If the author gave credible information that was not politically driven!
Would you ever listen to anything by Patrick King again?
No; this has made a horrid impression.
How could the performance have been better?
VO should be more selective with who they speak for.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and disappointment. I was hoping to use this in one of my future lessons.

Flamboyance required
What would have made Conversation Tactics better?
I admit there were some good points made, but "Interrupting as a conversation tactic" was ridiculous. Respect the other's person thought process over endearing yourself, selfishly, to them by interrupting to agree. :D :D :D Seriously had me LOL
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting aspect was that someone with such a shallow approach to conversation would feel so strongly impelled to share it as "the" right approach.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
N/A
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Conversation Tactics?
N/A

some stuff the author talks about is a b.s.
so some stuff is useful other stuff I don't know where author got the info but it is complete inapplicable bs. so good begginer book for someone who doesn't know how to engage and lead the conversation. but if you know your stuff you will find plenty if areas of disagreement.

Great book for variety of social situations
I enjoyed the personal stories and simple and clear explanations. It's great knowing that I can befriend an enemy by using conversation as a lock pick.
