Publisher's Summary:
Want to talk to that attractive person on the train home from work, but have no idea what to say?
Do you secretly dread going to parties?
Afraid you won't fit in at your new job because you don't "do" small talk?
Like it or not, we live in a world driven by social interaction. The more real connections we can make with others, the more doors we open for deep satisfaction at work, our social life and our love life.
Small talk is a critical first step in making those connections. Yet we have all been left to figure out how to master this skill on our own. It's no wonder so many people struggle with small talk, but you no longer have to be one of them.
No matter how long you've struggled or even if English isn't your native language, this guide will show you how to unlock the power of small talk to confidently connect with anyone.
Conquer the social fears holding you back.

Any additional comments?
Got halfway through and it spent that time going on and on stating the obvious on how society views small talk. Then occasionally forensically breaking down a conversation about things like the weather. Provided nothing of value to me
Worthless
I have no idea how this book exists. It reminds me of a paper written by 5th grader on the principle of conversation
Very low level of information
not what I expected. the book was very very basic and I could have written it myself. I thought personally that many of the examples in the book were not "small talk" but rather polite exchanges of words that was too short to be small talk. this is Smaller Talk
A Work with Socio-Linguistics Interwoven into it
If you could sum up Small Talk - How to Connect Effortlessly with Anyone in three words, what would they be?
Socializing through language
What was one of the most memorable moments of Small Talk - How to Connect Effortlessly with Anyone?
Starting a conversation with strangers was always problematic since I was not sure what was appropriate to say. This audio-book has several scenarios covering this. When I was going through them, I couldn't help experiencing deja vu.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Context, performance models, and supersegmental features of the langauge
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. There is a lot to learn from this audio-book. So, listening to it over and over is a necessity.
Any additional comments?
According to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development theory, learning happens when we see a clear need for it through the performance of more experienced and expert members of the community. This might be mistaken for imitation.
