I've just finished listening to How To Talk To Anyone Anytime Anywhere by Larry King.
I have to say that I've never actually seen or heard Larry King talk, I just know who he is.
It's always good to hear from people who are known and respected for something. Larry King is a respected and known.... I guess 'talker'.
While it's always interesting to hear other peoples stories, ideas and points I have to say straight away that if I was actually reading the book I most likely would have put it down, as I was listening to it I was able to get on with other things.
I think the issue is that there is nothing in there that isn't just common sense. It's full of things like 'If you are in a conversation, talk about something the other person is interested in', 'If you know a conversation is coming up, be prepared', 'keep eye contact' and so on.
If you can get the audiobook, give it a go, you may pick up something, you may not, I imagine the book would be very difficult to get through though. |
