The Art of Captivating Conversation is a book for enhancing social skills and developing conversation starters-how to have a deeper connection with people, with tips based on human and social psychology as well as the author's observations and proven coaching techniques. Readers will learn the basics of what makes a good interaction, as well as a plethora of highly-actionable techniques to become more confident, charismatic, and likable. For example: If your conversations are boring, it may be because you don't know yourself-your experiences or opinions-so you have little to share Most people ask bad questions because they are either too specific (what's your favorite movie?) or too broad (what is your passion?) If you need a witty comeback to an insult, simply agree with the insult and amplify it to an outlandish degree. This shows security and wit. Think of The Art of Captivating Conversation as a more detailed and nuanced How to Win Friends & Influence People for the modern age, now that most people see Carnegie's book as "common sense." It will be a handy reference for both introverts looking to step out, and confident speakers looking for an edge.
