How to Talk to Anyone

Ninety-two separate techniques make up How to Talk to Anyone, each one short enough to try out in a single conversation. Leil Lowndes organises the book around specific moments rather than general advice: entering a room, holding eye contact, making small talk useful, remembering names, handling introductions and steering a conversation towards common ground. Every technique is named, explained in a page or two, and paired with a situation where it applies. The format suits readers who prefer to practise one thing at a time rather than absorb a theory all at once. How it holds up: • Ninety-two named techniques presented in short, standalone sections • Coverage of body language, first impressions and conversational openings • Advice pitched at social settings and professional networking alike • Harper Collins edition of a long-selling communication guide For students, job seekers and anyone who goes quiet in a crowded room, published by Harper Collins and available at Boipoka.
