helpful for introverted people
As an introvert, this was a great listen. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s practical and encouraging, especially for someone like me who struggles with small talk and overthinks social situations. Great for those awkward moments when you don’t know what to say. I also liked how it focused on confidence and connection, not just small talk. Great refresher if socializing drains you.

Helping Us Communicate Across Teams
Our company has been integrating with more teams lately, and communication was becoming a huge challenge. This book came at the perfect time. It helped us get clear on how to handle different personalities (chapter 9), manage difficult conversations (chapter 10), and actually listen during meetings instead of just waiting to talk. A few of us used the section on conversation anxiety too, especially in cross-team calls. It’s been a game-changer for building trust and keeping things running smoother.

Helped Me Navigate Social Stuff
I’m not into small talk and usually avoid conversations if I don’t have to, but this audiobook gave me a way in that didn’t feel awkward or forced. I’ve been using a few of the tips when I’m at gatherings, and it’s made things way less stressful. It doesn’t try to turn you into someone you’re not—just helps you handle those moments without overthinking everything. If social stuff drains you, this actually helps you get through it without dreading it.
