How to Talk to Anyone: 92 little tricks for big success in relationships

"This gives techniques of body language so that people will automatically like and trust you when they first meet you. This is not dumb stuff but things that really work. Things like "Sticky Eyes" where you keep your eyes locked on theirs. Then there is the "Baby Pivot" where you pivot your entire body to face someone you are just meeting. There is the "Slow Smile" where you start your smile at someone slowly so they don't think you beam at everyone you meet but seem more sincere. This is a very good book and it IS very tricky, but seems like very good advice."

"You will enjoy this book. I bought it on clearance at a book store and hoped it would be worth it for the plane ride. It has proved to be fantastic. I have never prided myself on being good at small talk or at introductions, but Lowndes gives you numerous practical tips which can be easily and immediately applied. Although many of these tactics are specifically meant for introductions and first impressions, they can also be used for daily contact with acquaintances and friends as well. (It also feels good to come across some of the tricks and know that you already have been doing that). Unless you live in a cave, you're conversations with others will be more valuable to you than money you use to get this book."

This book is available from Amazon where you can buy it for $10.85, a reduction of 32% from the list price of $15.95.
