Summary: Amazingly simple and instantly effective -a truly great book
Review: After reading just the first chapter of "How to Talk to Anyone," I was astounded!! I have been researching this field (I am 24 years old, and a developmental trainer) for almost 7 years and I have never seen, heard or read such stuff. Leil's technique about the "Flooding Smile" is in itself worth the price of the whole book, many times over. I feel a sense of excitement on having discovered her material that I felt when I first read about NLP - which was a life-changing experience for me. Really, Leil's book is AWESOME!! and if I could, I would shout it out and jump up and down and tell everyone about it in the voice of a kid who just found out where his favorite toy was all this while, after all! I can't wait to start living these techniques and scream these techniques out in my training sessions.

Summary: This book really works!!!
Review: I have developed a fascination with personal relationships and want to become a master communicator and master friend to others. I want to learn how to be totally charismatic and attract people to me like a magnet. I want to learn how I can get others to like me, because they can sense and know I like them by focusing on THEM, not me. I want to learn special words and grammar and what to say to others for them to feel attracted to me, even on a subconscious level.And now Leil Lowndes has told me exactly how to do it. Her book is FANTASTIC. I've started using some of her techniques and notice how people are responding to me more positively already. Now I'm going to order all her books.

Summary: The best thing I ever did for my social life!
Review: I needed something to entertain me on a rainy night. So I wandered
into my sister's bedroom & found "How to Talk to Anyone." Picking
up that book was the one of the best things I ever did for my social life -
I instantly fell in love with it. Even when I'm not using the tecniques the author
taught me, I can feel confident knowing I have learn & know how to talk to
people effectively. The first party I went to after reading the book
sounded really boring, I wasn't looking forward to it, but thanks to "How to Talk to Anyone," I was an instant success.

Summary: Highly recommended! Really helpful!
Review: I rated "How to make anyone fall in love with you" by the same author a four star. I think this book is even better, and certainly more applicable in general circumstances. Though I dont agree with the author's mildly negative comment on Dale Carnegie's classic "How to win friends and influence people" who wrote in the Introduction that Dale's book is not good enough for the much more complicated world nowadays, I would rather say Dale's book focused on mindset and strategies, whilst this one gave you many useful tactics. Both should be read seriously, if you want to be a successful warrier in the business jungle. Highly recommended!
p.s. The tactic I like most is called "The Tombstone Game" in page 226 Technique 59:- Ask the important people in your life what they would like engraved on their tombstone. Chisel it into your memory but dont mention it again. Then, when the moment is right to say I appreciate you ro I love you, fill the blanks with the very words they gave you weeks earlier. You take people's breath away when you fed their deepest self-image to them in a compliment. "At last, they say to themselves, "someone who loves me for who I truly am."

Summary: Leil is simply amazing!
Review: I want to say from the bottom of my heart that Leil Lowndes is amazing. I have 4 of her books which are:
1. How to Make Anyone Fall In Love With You
2. How to be a People Magnet
3. UpDating
4. and now this one, "How to Talk to Anyone" (which was originally titled "Talking the Winner's Way")
In addition, I have her audio programs "Love Advantage" as well as "Conversation Confidence".
I live in Tokyo and I have been having small group sessions where we read her books and apply her methods. I must say that in a very self conscience and shy environment such as Tokyo and Japan in general, it is a very challenging task yet it is well worth it.
I have read other communication books in my life and while they had some merits, hers simply stand out as the best. I have been making a variety of bloopers in my life and her books have come into my life at a very good time.

Summary: Leil is # 1..... I love this book
Review: Leil's book has changed my life! I'm so glad I stumbled across this book. "How to Talk to Anyone" is filled with wonderful gems of knowledge. And, as someone who works in pharmaceutical clinical research, I appreciate how she backs up her techniques with research studies and statistics (this book is based on science, not fluff!). Leil's witty and straight-forward writing style truly makes her book come to life. My friends and I often go to the park and read her pearls of wisdom out loud...her tell-it-like-it-is New York attitude is so refreshing! I've read this book several times- each time serves as a nice refresher course. It's quite fun to try out her tips, and to see the amazing response that they have (in social settings, at work, with family members, etc). Many people have commented on how my communication skills have improved (and all I did was follow Leil's simple rules). I've seen that Leil's courses (through Verbal Advantage cost $2000+), so to only pay around $15-20 for this book is a total bargain. I also recommend her other books "How to Be a People Magnet" and "Updating".

Summary: All the tricks to talk so people like, respect, trust you
Review: 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.
