Story
Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you're introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss - you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done - especially if you're prone to social anxiety.

Fantastic, helped me deal with social situations
What did you like most about How to Talk to Anyone?
It was realistic. I find a lot of books to be silly and not real life situations (or be horrendously out of date!!!) but this one was real, modern and applicable to life today.
Have you listened to any of Rachel Austin’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Never, but her voice was good.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I just recognised myself in some of the scenarios and most importantly i tried out some of the advice immediately and saw very positive results. I got pretty emotional over this to be honest, as i have been dealing with shyness (and self-esteem) issues all my life. It feels amazing to be slowly getting better.
Any additional comments?
This book as recommended to me by a friend on a forum (and i have already read another Jennifer Alison book) and i can see why. Its great, proper real work advice, laid out in a neat and very easy to follow way.
Sometimes, in our darkest hour, it seems that we cannot overcome major issues such as social anxiety / shyness / self-esteem, but really we can. I am walking testament to that. Do not give up. You can get better. Day by day, you CAN get better.

EXCELLENT!
A very definite 5 stars out of 5 stars for this book. Helped me deal with shyness issues and just feeling awkward when talking to people, especially strangers. Small talk in particular was very very difficult for me, but is vastly improved now.
Very grateful for this book.

Incredible book, life changing in fact
Would you listen to How to Talk to Anyone again? Why?
YES many times, because it is full of so much info, it will take a few listens to really absorb it all.
Any additional comments?
Incredible book helping me deal with some pretty deep rooted social anxiety issues. I now find social gathering and talking to people (friends, family, opposite sex and strangers) so much easier, more natural and more effective. This is about proper honest communication, not cheap tricks.
A fantastic book and for me, life changing.

Very good if you are a shy person or just find it hard to always know what to say (or how to say it), especially in social situations such as making small chat, meeting new people etc. I learnt a lot!

Where does How to Talk to Anyone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Up with one of the best, definitely!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Moved me in the sense that it made me believe (and finally see the results) that I can get better in dealing with situations.
Any additional comments?
Social situations have ALWAYS been difficult for me. Some days are worse than others. Sometimes its just mild shyness and sometimes its quite crippling social anxiety. This helped me a lot. I picked up so much genuine advice, that really helped me. I am so much better already, especially when dealing with social situations at work.
