How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: The Secrets of Good Communication

Please try again later. I will be honest, I only read this book because a friend recommended it to me. I personally don't think I struggle talking to people, but more so enjoy it. I thought I knew everything there was to talking to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Larry King's book didn't necessarily prove me wrong, but it has definitely equipped me with even more tips and tricks to communicating better in all sorts of environments.

The book itself is an easy read and I enjoyed it for the most part, but being a person who does not really indulge in the lives of celebrities, I found it hard to connect with the reading at times. Otherwise I would say it's a good read. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I've read a number of books on communication and this was my second time around with Larry.

His friendly open demeanour you see on television absolutely comes through in the book, which makes it a pleasure to read. He doesn't introduce any earth shattering new techniques but it serves as a great primer or review. He doesn't introduce any arth shattering. I bought this as a birthday gift for a friend.

He was thrilled and he says that it is an excellent book and very helpful for him. One person found this helpful.

After listening to Larry on an episode of Tim Ferriss great podcast,I was driven to go back and read this title. It might be a little long in the tooth for the age of the book, it still has great meaning on the art of talk. Seems that a lot of people could brush up on this topic these days where talk comes in character limits. Not a useful book at all. He states the obvious, offers no substantive material for use by the reader, and basically just talks about how great he thinks he is the whole book. I loved everything in the book: Although it may seem that the author writes basic things, it might be helpful to review the profound ideas behind them.

I recommend this book for those interested in the art of talking and building good communications. Not quite what I was expecting but still informative Read it in 1 sitting. See all 80 reviews.

Ini sebenarnya prinsip mutualisme dasar yang diterapkan Larry: Dalam buku ini ia memberi banyak resep yang akan membantu kita menguasai seni berbicara, baik itu dengan teman sejawat, kelompok tugas, lawan jenis, atasan, orang tua, bahkan selebritis, dalam berbagai situasi.

Namun, pada dasarnya, buku ini bagus untuk setiap orang, karena semua orang bicara. Larry King obviously knows what he's talking about. At no point of this book did I feel bored or that he was repeating himself, and for a book about talking and the art of conversing, this is the perfect testimony to its success. I found the book very useful, and the advice it offered was practical and straight forward, although my first thought was that reading a book on how to talk to people is kind of pathetic, but that was an oversimplification. It's a book on how to hold a conversation and Larry King obviously knows what he's talking about.

It's a book on how to hold a conversation and how to connect to people, in social life, in business, in the media, etc. And the biggest takeaway, as Larry himself sums is up at the conclusion of the book, is that talking should not be dealt with as an obligation but rather as a pleasure, an opportunity, which I think we now need more than ever at this time and age where we're constantly talking even when we're alone frantically typing on our phones, and when we feel that we're losing touch with certain people, with whom we have less and less in common, so it's useful to remember that talking is actually a way to connect with another human being, we just have to be willing to try.

May 27, Theingi Lynn rated it really liked it. There are a bunch of useful tips to improve our communication skills. Larry does give real life advices and examples. However, as a millennial and a non-American, I am not familiar with his guests when he gives examples so It is hard for me to have better understanding. A part from that, it is overall a good book for people who make living with different forms of communication.

Aug 06, Miles rated it liked it. Liked it and easy to read. Loaded with stories and anecdotes which is better then just being told what to do. This book doesn't just cover how to be conversant but goes a bit into public speaking. I was mainly looking for ideas to improve in small talk with people or small groups. Got some help and ideas for this. Mostly common sense but still good reinforcement. Sometimes we need to hear the obvious. As a person who likes to think out loud one of the biggest changes this book has brought me is Liked it and easy to read.

As a person who likes to think out loud one of the biggest changes this book has brought me is to get me to think a sentence ahead before I blurt it out. I hate not being able to finish a thought or sentence and this comes from the bad habit of not thinking a little bit ahead. Also, trying to avoid words like, "basically" and other extra words that don't really help in communicating.

May 06, Darlington30 rated it it was ok. This silver-tongued devil's voice is smooth as silk. He could make anything sound great, which is why this audio book version is not as bad as it should be. It's really just 90 minutes of Larry King from the early 90's speaking off the cuff about speaking. There's no real system or organization to his method - - or any method at all.

Don't count on getting more than only a few pointers. Loved these conversation starter gems: Feb 17, WhizKid rated it it was amazing. If you feel you're not good at it, you can be. If you feel you are good at it, you can be better It's an attitude about talk. Talk should not be a challenge,a grim obligation, or a way of filing up time. Talk is mankind's greatest invention, it's how we make connections among us, and one of the pleasures that life has to offer. Think of every conversation as an opportunity. Oct 29, Mosab Soufi rated it it was amazing.

Feb 09, G Clay Leonard rated it liked it. King's book is a fairly fun read, but provides mostly common sense information. If you've never taken a class or read anything else it might be a nice introduction. One of the best sections was about business meetings. I do wish more people followed his suggestions in that setting!

Nov 04, Anna Epishcheva rated it really liked it Shelves: Dec 07, Sarah rated it it was amazing. Once you finish this book you will realize that we as human the only way to communicate is to talk.. Jun 19, Rinchen rated it liked it. This fear is described beautifully in this quote, "It is better to remain silent and be presumed a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Ask them about themselves.

How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: The Secrets of Good Communication by Larry King

That will give you something to talk about and also people love to be talked to about themselves. One tip is to ask questions using "what do you think? Careful listening makes you better able to respond. Good follow-up questions are the mark of a good conversationalist. Many find that uncomfortable. Maintain eye contact when your conversation partner is talking and when you are asking a question. If you're speaking, you can take your eyes off your partner occasionally. And if you're at a party, don't let your eyes wander over your partner's shoulder as if you're looking for someone more important to talk to.

This will help a lot because you have to relate what you're talking about to the interests of the person you're talking to. Or else, join others in conversations already under way that sound interesting. If the other person is not interested in the subjects that interest you, excuse yourself politely. There's bound to be someone else in the room who's more fun for you to talk to.

One trick is not to get caught in the same place for a long period of time. It is the greatest question to ask and it is the surest way of keeping a conversation lively and interesting. I'm going to go help myself to seconds. I'm going to go say hello to our host. Just wait for a slight pause, say something polite, and move on as if it's a natural thing to do.

Simply saying "It was nice talking to you" and turning away can be graceful enough, as long as you sound as though you actually did enjoy the conversation. You'll be remembered as a better conversationalist if you ask the opinions of others around you. What do you think? Keep your own stories brief! The other extreme is just as bad - being so short on words that people think either you're not bright enough to say much or you're an unfriendly person.

If you're having four people for dinner, don't use your grandmother's gigantic table that seats twelve. One thing you can do is share a favorite memory of yours involving the deceased. Approach them not as famous people but just as people who have the same likes, dislikes and feelings like the rest of us. If you happen to know about the celebrity's extracurricular interest, you might find they will speak to you about it much more freely than they would about their professional life.

Even if you heard a hilarious joke at the office, don't interrupt a conversation in progress just so you can tell it.

The Secrets of Good Communication

You're going to love it. Acts as oral crutches. And don't try to be the life of the meeting with a long monologue when everybody else is anxious to get down to business. Remember also what the other person wants and needs to know. Know what you're selling; and once you've closed the deal - don't keep selling. Talk about the security your client will feel and about the gratitude of his or her spouse and children in knowing that the cornerstone of their financial future is in place.

Tell them instead how you are going to do this job better than anyone else will. If what you need from someone is simple information, talk to that person's assistant first. The assistance can often pull a file or make an appointment quicker than the boss. Why leave a message for the boss to call you back when you are asking questions that the boss can refer to the assistant? Asking the assistant saves all three of you some time and gets you the information earlier in your day.

It's much better to have a reputation as someone who talks only when it counts than to be known as someone who has to put in his two cents' worth on every subject. The last two questions for each item are: What action is to be taken, and who's going to do it? If you leave this vague, there was no point in having the meeting in the first place. Just say, "Sorry, Pete - we have to move on to the next item. Feb 11, Dmitry Kuriakov rated it really liked it Shelves: The thing about reading a book about talking and communication when you're an introvert and hate social interactions, is that you know that you have to read it, but you just don't want to.
