Unbeknown to me I already owned essentially the same book by Leil, called "talking the winner's way." a lot of identical tips but I like 92 tricks better (you don't need both). If you're interested enough to read about communication, you've probably noticed people who do well in social settings and were wondering how to emulate them. Some interesting ideas here that will help you do that if you keep brushing up on these strategies. Its not that anything is particularly groundbreaking, but the ideas are useful and its bringing these strategies to awareness (instead of being subconscious) that makes it more likely to be effective. But if you're a shy or unsure person like myself, I think if you're really to get anything out of this book, you've really got to be willing to take some risks and actually want to put these ideas into action, as awkward as it may feel at the start, and thats something that is out of the author's control; you have to really want to work at being more effective at being a "natural" communicator. I gave this fewer stars mainly because I get annoyed with the writing, it errors on the side of condescending drivel (to me), but she gets her point across and thats the important thing, even if it does involve bizarre narrative, a slew of outdated adjectives, and plenty of cliches (which she specifically warns against using, without heeding herself). Also gave it fewer stars because I didn't expect it to be so much the same as her other book; kind of feel ripped off. Also, as with any "tricks," in the wrong hands they're totally insincere; anyone who does these communication tricks without being genuine will only come across as annoying. Certain aspects of this book seem to condone learning the skills to ruthlessly pursue your own agenda, and that was also something that annoyed me. Sometimes it really does feel like this book is just giving you ways of tricking people into liking you, and while that may be a part of life, its better to try to work at sincerity and gratitude. If you practice better communication skills with those values in place, you're likely to both do better and feel better. All said and done, If you really want to build relationships and communicate better for the simple sake of improving the skill, enhancing your relationships, and the ability to feel comfortable in social situations, reading about it is a good place to start and actively practicing is even better. This book will give you ideas to carry with you when mingling events arise.

This book is a quick and easy read. Some of her suggestions are obvious and others are ideas I hadn’t heard previously. Great suggestions for anyone wanting to improve themselves and their relationship skills.

Love it.

Be interested in other people. This book gives solid suggestions in how to do this better.

I enjoyed reading this book each evening. It’s easy to read, and I love how the author summarizes each point at the end of that section. Now that I’ve read the entire book, I can just skim the summaries for a quick review. There are several points I had never considered, and I loved learning these new ideas.

This will be my first Amazon review after years of purchases that I’ve been satisfied with. I could write a super long review for you to read about how great this book is, but it wouldn’t do it enough justice and that would be more time wasted from you ordering this book and unlocking the secrets that the “Big Cats” know. This book is the complete playbook for how to approach any social situation whether it’s personal, business, whatever. Things like: Feel like you’re in a room you have no business in (imposter syndrome)? Here’s your answer. The book just makes it so simple. Unfortunately not all of us are blessed to be able to think on our feet when it comes to conversation. If you’re like me, you can get analysis paralysis with information coming from a million different sources. This book lays it out simple, and makes it MAKE SENSE. Happy reading.
