I received this audio-book free for an honest review by the author, narrator, or publisher. Thank you!!!

If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below, thanks!

Good listen.

Some good ideas and advice given just a bit to shallow for my taste.

Better than writing it on your sweaty palms

Need some quick social brilliance but your brain is locked up?
Need actions to practice so you can feel confident when things get social?
Need that robotic part of your brain to take over from your stammering befuddled self?
THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! It's a stop gap measure to aid you in field relationship triage, but nothing more.

My feelings about this kind of instruction are that it is FANTASTIC at turning you into the author! You may find it provides great value for you in understanding social norms you may have found vague and un-obvious, but depending on wrote actions and responses can't convey your own uniqueness and values. The best thing about you is that you are you, don't cover that up with bad acting and scripts.

So, if the first paragraph in this review made sense to you, then buy this book! But if you found the second paragraph resonated more with you, you are far better off reading books about what you are putting into your brain that is making you curious enough to read about this book. Pick up the classic "As a man thinketh" and let your journey to being the real you begin from there!


I was given this audio book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I found this helpful and maybe you will too.

What made the experience of listening to Small Talk the most enjoyable?

The narrators voice was very soothing and calm, and I felt like I was listening to someone who cared. The usual books I listen to feature male narrators, so this was a real treat to enjoy a female narration.

Any additional comments?

I am an introvert and dread social occasions where I know there will be strangers. I am not a people person - which is why I was interested in listening to this book - and I 100% identified with the points made about feeling your heart beating faster, your palms sweating, stomach churning. That's me! But by listening to this book I definitely learned of some tricks to try and lessen those reactions, as well as how to develop a plan for handling small talk.

Approaching a stranger is not high on my list of things to do, but sometimes you can't avoid it. The next time I am put into this situation I know how to broaden topics of conversation so as to avoid one word responses for all parties involved. I also learned how to engage myself better while listening to the other person talk, because I am the person who is thinking of a good response to your story, as opposed to actually listening to you speak.

Since the audio was only an hour long and I enjoyed the narrators voice, I will be listening to this over and over. The tips and tricks contained in this short self-help book are good in my opinion. I especially appreciated the tips on dating. First dates are killer, even if you know the person. I would really like a book dedicated to dating.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. And honestly, I recommend this for those who are looking for helpful advice, but don't want a long novel telling you what and how to do it. This book was just the right length - quick and to the point, but the chapters didn't feel rushed or glossed over. I give this 5 stars all round.

Succinct but jam packed

Coming in at just over an hour long 'Small Talk' wastes no time in giving you the good. It moves quickly through many hints and tips, giving examples along the way, to help you to improve social situations. It provides ways to overcome anxiousness, engage in varied and interesting conversation, and to accept then you still make awkward mistakes.

I really liked that it took the time it needed to explain each item, but did not stretch it out. I find that many 'self help' books take an hours worth of discussion points and stretch it into an 8 hour book through lots of padding and anecdotal stories that don't add much meat. This book does not to that, and is much better for it.

Narration by Corinne Phillips is good. Clear, well paced and easy to understand. The short text doesn't give Phillips a whole lot to work with in variation but it isn't needed here. The narration provided works well for the book.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Easy to listen to and good detail

What did you love best about Small Talk?

Book goes by quickly. Help you look for good details without getting hung up in them.

What about Corinne Phillips’s performance did you like?

Good expression.

short and to the point

Sometimes it's good when you get insides and see how every step works and why. but sometimes you just want the ideas and the tips. And that is why this book is good instead of 6 - 10 hours book, you get as much information in just one hour. thanks for the knowledge and thanks for saving us time!

Really helpful!

This is a pretty short audio but provided enough helpful information that I already see a difference in my social skills and awkwardness. Good narration! Recommend to anyone who is self-conscious in social situations and just needs a little advice to help.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it.

Great starter

I like the way the author shares personal experiences. The book has great tricks for starter conversations.
