About this listen
Beyond simple small talk: what to say and when to say it to be likable, connect, and make a memorable impression.
Actionable and applicable verbal maneuvers for just about every phase of conversation—good and bad. Whatever your conversational goal, you’ll find tactics to put you in a winning position—in a literal sense with arguments and in a figurative sense with making friends. You can never underestimate the power of a simple conversation.
No more: interview mode, awkward silence, or struggling to hold people’s attention.
How to Talk to Anyone is a unique book. It provides guidance for every social situation you’ll come across, including "What should I say?", "Hello, how was your weekend?", "I disagree with you", "Stop doing that", "Here’s a story", and "Good-bye".
You’ll find 100 percent actionable, nuanced, and subtle tactics to salvage your worst situations and enhance your best—all field-tested and proven through thousands of conversations. In addition to shrewd insights to make conversation flow, you’ll learn to win arguments and diffuse dirty tricks.
Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience. He suffered for years as a shy introvert and managed to boil human interaction down to a science—first for himself and now for you.
He is without doubt a uniquely qualified individual to teach you these tactics.
- Exact words and phrases—always know what to say for social engagement.
- Common and subtle conversational habits you need to stop right now.
- How to turn enemies into friends and charm just about anyone.
- How to charm and captivate anyone.
Simple conversation is the gatekeeper to friendships, your dream career, romance, and overall happiness. The ability to connect with anyone is an underrated superpower. People will be more drawn to you without even knowing why, and never again people will people be bored talking to you. You’ll never run out of things to say when you master these conversation tactics.

Story
Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.

Why are you captivated by some people but not by others? Why do you recall some brands yet forget the rest? In a distracted, overcrowded world, how do certain leaders, friends, and family members convince you to change your behavior? Answer: fascination, the most powerful way to influence decision-making. It's more persuasive than marketing, advertising, or any other form of communication. And it all starts with seven universal triggers: lust, mystique, alarm, prestige, power, vice, and trust.

We oftentimes look towards the outside world to find the roots of our problems. However, most of the times, we should be looking inwards. Our mind and our emotions determine our state of being in the present moment. If those aspects are left unchecked, we can get easily overwhelmed and are left feeling unfulfilled every single day.
