A step by step approach and guide to start and proceed with a conversation with known and unknown people.The author is quite successful in bringing about the basic ideas, strategies and approach towards starting a conversation and keeping it live till the end. The book is divided into two parts for convenience. The first part takes the reader through the basics of developing conversation skills and the negative habits which need to be addressed to start a good conversation. The Love and Connection Daily Practice suggested by the author towards the end of the first part is very resourceful and effective. I feel that anyone who practices this 4 point formula on a daily basis is sure to be having a great day, everyday. The second part of the book elicits the most useful tips and strategies to be used in conversation. This is found to be very useful and lively with each tip being very practical and applicable to almost every individual of this world.It is found that the book is mainly focused on ‘Introverts” and those who feel shy, afraid, timid and reluctant to start a conversation with strangers. Every example is compared with extroverts and social beings. The point of being social is strongly emphasized without a mention of the fact that there are also great conversationalists in introverts and poor social beings in extroverts for that matter.Overall, the practical aspects discussed in the book are quite substantial and carry enough weight to influence an introvert to change his attitude towards an extrovert.
