Making People Talk By Barry Farber (eBook)

As host of a radio talk show in New York, Farber has become an expert at making people talk, and his book tells us how he does it.

Along with numerous anecdotes about his own experiences as a professional talker, he offers good advice to those of us who are not conversational whizzes.

Learning how to get people to talk is not easy, but it can be rewarding in many ways.

Farber advises advance research before a meeting or event, gives tips on how to ask for advice (everybody likes to give it), and points up the importance of listening.

The book seems to be directed more at those aiming to get ahead in business or a profession rather than at those who just want to get a good conversation going, but there is something here for everyone. Good for self-help collections.
