Amazon Customer: I liked this book. I have read several "how to talk to people" books and they all have pretty much the same tips: ask questions, shut up, and listen. Despite reading these books, there have been plenty of times that my conversations still hit dead ends where I was boring even myself. This book offers similar advice, but gives some useful exercises. I sat with the exercises and found afterwards that I was able to get even the most stonewalled people to actually say more than 2 word grunts! One friend-of-a-friend opened right up and shared some personal life stories and now I would consider us friends. I chatted with another quiet friend who also opened up about some personal goals he's been quietly working on. He was interrupted by someone else and had to walk away, but later in the night he sought me out to talk to me more!
There are typical pieces of advice in the book, but there are also some useful exercises. I feel like I have not had as many dead-end converstaions after adjusting my chit chat approach with this book.

Amazon Customer: "Better Small Talk" is an enlightening and enriching guide that meticulously addresses the art of conversation. It decodes the complexities of human interaction, highlighting the importance of quality conversations over quantity. The book is a treasure trove of insightful ideas, backed by studies that link loneliness to severe health issues, asserting that meaningful interactions can be as vital to our well-being as good diet and exercise.

What's truly transformative about "Better Small Talk" is its potential to metamorphose our conversations from mundane exchanges to deeper, intimate interactions. The book equips the readers with practical techniques to elevate their conversational skills and to derive fulfillment from social interactions. These techniques are not just explained theoretically but are presented with real-life examples, making them easily understandable and applicable.

Another noteworthy aspect is the emphasis on personal development. The book encourages readers to become 'interesting' by living an engaged life, filled with diverse experiences, reading, and a curiosity to learn. It advocates the power of saying 'yes' and embracing life's...

B. Weibel: This author does not return to her words to edit them, and the result is a book that doesn't always have the correct advice. If you aren't willing to edit your content then you don't deserve to publish for an audience. If you're going to write essays but not review them for advice, it's publishing a disservice to your audience. The following is not about not editing for advice, but for including the wrong term.

On page 8 you use the term "deep dive." You're not using this term how it's used by professionals in all industries - to mean to get in deeply on all specifics of the information on the topic to be reviewed. The surface questions you use as research here are not at all a "deep dive" - it doesn't get into information but elicits a response. Asking a "personal question" is neither a "deep dive." Having one response from a question doesn't mean that the questioner has insight equal or similar to the person responding to questions. It's really erroneous to use the term "deep dive" in your book there because the person understands that own person much more comprehensively than the other person asking questions. Making your book about the surface is still what you did in...
