Title: How to Talk to Anyone: Learn How to Improve Communication Skills and Talk to Women, Men, in Public, at Work at Anytime and Anywhere with Confidence, Increase Your Self-Esteem, Manage Shyness

Author(s): Mind Change Academy

Working on the communication skills is trivial for some, challenging for others. This title attempts to cover a broad spectrum, by giving advice targeting all kinds of social interactions (personal, at work, public speaking, and such). Some techniques will be familiar to many, others were new to me (a newbie in the topic). Apart from the basic speaking-related topics, there are tips for non-verbal communication, proposals to adapt to different kinds of target audiences considering how you are, ideas when trying to convince others...

I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and it felt like easy to understand, and direct to the point. If you enjoy personal stories, keep looking. If you like a more digested and concise list of concrete scenarios and techniques, suggestions and recommendations, look no further.
