About this listen

Beyond simple small talk: what to say and when to say it to be likable, connect, and make a memorable impression.

Actionable and applicable verbal maneuvers for just about every phase of conversation - good and bad. Whatever your conversational goal, you’ll find tactics to put you in a winning position - in a literal sense with arguments, and in a figurative sense with making friends. You can never underestimate the power of a simple conversation.

No more interview mode, awkward silence, or struggling to hold people’s attention.

Conversation Tactics is unique. It provides guidance for every social situation you’ll come across, including what should I say, hello, how was your weekend, I disagree with you, stop doing that, here’s a story, and goodbye.

You’ll find 100% actionable, nuanced, and subtle tactics to salvage your worst situations and enhance your best - all field-tested and proven through thousands of conversations. In addition to shrewd insights to make conversation flow, you’ll learn to win arguments and diffuse dirty tricks.

Learn the art of verbal self-defense - and offense.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, including scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real-life experience. He suffered for years as a shy introvert and managed to boil human interaction down to a science - first for himself, and now for you. He is without doubt a uniquely qualified individual to teach you these tactics.

I wasn't thrilled about this book. I don't believe there is ever a need to swear just to make an impact. I also don't think any kind of deception should be used either. I did get some tips though so not totally a waste but it did not meet my expectations at all

This was a great listen with some great tips, bus I will probably only takeaway about 40% of the content. that doesn't mean it wasn't more than 50% useful, that's 40% more knowledge than what I had originally.
An easy listen, usefully laid out knowledge, definitely worthwhile.

long winded and not much substance.
it was like the author had taken several ideas from other books and joined them into this one book without understanding the concept behind the points he was making.

I didn't get anything from this book and would not recommend.

not well thought through
