Well done

I really liked reading this. I’ve listening to Russell Newton narrated on two books so far and I feel like he could do a bit better, but, I’m getting used to him.

The overall book is very helpful and am considering getting the hard copy to archive for future reference.

Great summary on communication skills

It’s a very comprehensive summary of skills to connect with people written in a concise fast paced manner. Some of the tips are basic and more helpful to people that really struggle with communication but I think it’s also a useful summary for everyone else. There’s a lot it covers and in some ways I’d love it if the book was longer with more depth on each point it touches on as it would probably help you internalise those points better. Great narration and the author sounds like a nice guy too!

A ‘basic book’ in my opinion

I would recommend this book to someone with 0 or very little social skills who need to practice the absolute basics. It wouldn’t help with growth for someone who is already somewhat confident but would like to use conversation and charisma as a tool to progress further..

I enjoyed this book.

If you are looking for a book to help you build habits through actionable steps, even gradually, to be able to not only improve as a person but also strengthen your social skills I highly recommend listening to this book. What is even better is that it is a quick read, which will allow you to start implementing the suggestions that much quicker.

Couldn’t get through 1 min of this guys voice

I’m sure this book is great but the audibook is deplorable. The guy who is reading should never be commissioned to speak in public. His awkward, trembly voice hurts my ears.

eh would not listen to again

narration along with writing style is kind of weird. almost like a programed robot is talking to you. I think the writing is kind of forced, and not a natural writer. that mixed with someone who didn't write the book reading it makes it kind of odd and boring to listen to. I also think it had a lot of filler that comes off as common sense ideas. However if you're truly terrible at communicating I believe the book could give you some valuable information.

A must read (or listen)

I often keep quiet rather than engage in conversation. Social anxiety can really handicap a person, even when you’re around those you know. This book offers insight, tips and tricks to get you going and covers things like active listening and open ended questions to keep conversation flowing. I’ve started using some the tips and while I still struggle, conversation is just a little bit easier.

worst book on Audible

Writing is below average at best. Probably acceptable as a main text for a high school class meant to bore and destroy the students. Narration is pretty awful and whoever decided that this is an appropriate format for this book was on a disgusting money grab.

Basic Tips

Books about improving social skills are going to contain basic tips because building rapport isn't that complex. It just requires some planning and work. When someone asks "how was your weekend?", don't respond with "I watched Netflix all weekend." Have something more interesting to talk about, like the blockbuster movie you watched and how it compared to other movies in the same genre. Learn to tell stories and jokes. Don't expect other people to start conversations and entertain you with their latest activities and adventures.
