How to talk to ANYONE
This book is fantastic. I began reading it earlier today and haven't been able to put it down. This is already one of the best books I have ever read and I am only on tip #20 - I am amazed that there are another 72 tips left. I feel so much more confident now about speaking to new people, I can't wait to start trying some of them out.

Ninety-Two Time-Tested Techniques for "Terrific Talking"
"Language most shews a man: Speak, that I may see thee." The great English dramatist and poet Ben Jonson wrote these words in the seventeenth century. They are as true today as they were then. People evaluate you by the words you use and the way you use them. Of course, people also make judgments based on your body language, dress style, attitude, facial expressions and similar criteria that immediately register at a subconscious level. This outstanding book will put you well on your way to becoming a more attractive personality as it reveals the secrets that drama and speech coaches, sales trainers, communication consultants, psychologists and other behavioral experts employ to help their clients become more charismatic, dynamic and appealing. The famous journalist and social critic H.L. Mencken once wrote, "Before a man speaks, it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it." This cynical maxim may be true for many - but certainly not for those who study this book. It is chock-full of wonderful insights and proven techniques - a whopping 92 in all - that you can use to become the type of person that others admire. We recommend putting its valuable lessons to use.

Quite good
Ok a lot of these tips, I do feel can contribute to a greater sense of respect from others- however Lowndes' anecdotes (absolutely fictional) about how her friends used these tips, and just all these stories about obviously fake people really annoyed me. I know they were only examples but they were so....just annoying! However I would recommend it for the tips themselves. Hold your head high people! Hang by your teeth!
