"Always Know What To Say" is for anyone who wants a straight to the point explanation of conversation skills fundamentals. I point out key distinctions you can apply right away to go from being tongue tied and unsure of what to say to having fun meeting people and getting to know them better. If you read AND apply what I cover in the book you`ll make steady progress and become much more at ease talking to people.
This book is not for you if you already have very good conversation skills and are comfortable meeting new people and letting your personality shine. You need to go elsewhere if you are looking for "secrets" and advanced strategies to achieve conversation skills mastery. You`ll regard this book as common sense.
And finally, this book is not for you if you read self help books and disregard the training because you`ve read something similar before and never apply what you learn. You`ll tell yourself you knew it all already.
You`ll gain a lot from "Always Know What To Say" if you treat it as a set of principles and strategies you get to play with in the real world. This is not light entertainment, its practical training that`s designed for you to use in your day to day life. If you do you`ll enjoy the happiness and warmth that comes from connecting with the important people in your life whether that be in your family and community or at work.
Here`s what people are saying about this book at Amazon.com
"If you are a shy person who finds it difficult to communicate with new people then this book will be helpful. Peter Murphy presents conversation starters, explains body language and teaches you what to ask people when you first meet. This book contains simple strategies for entertaining conversations. With this book anyone should be able to survive a party or talk to strangers on a plane. I personally find that listening to people talk about their life is a good way to make people like you. Being a shy person by nature I found some of this book to be very useful."
Rebecca Johnson
"I found a lot of great ideas in this book. I will have to refer back to it frequently to remember some of the ideas. Its a short book but not only is it packed with great ideas but the author has a great free website packed with ideas and there is a free audio on his website. I think it would be worth writing down some of the ideas and reviewing them before a social situation."
Cynthia from Florida
"As a manager of a retail store that pushes strong customer service, I have a large young staff. I've shared excerpts from this book with them and it blows their mind. As a young person they are having a hard time talking to people about something that they are worried doesn't interest the customer so they are all worried about failure and rejection. This book, I believe, has helped save my store. It is very basic, but almost like, why didn't I think to tell my staff that!"

 Good Book but be careful of the come-onMar 08, 2012
By Pawlowa
I read one review that sounded like, "if you've been alive for a few years you won't need this book". Something about being raised with wolves, etc. Even if you're good with people this book is a good refresher. Before retiring I spent my working life dealing with people and was very successful in this regard, even with the most difficult and demanding, but I still enjoyed the book. It's a short and easy read. But, beware of the part where the author suggests downloading his free audio. It's just a come-on to purchase. His web site address takes you to a page where you must enter your email address to gain access to the download, but then you're doused with all kinds of information designed to reach into your wallet. I didn't download the "free" audio.

 Waste of timeJul 16, 2012
By Pontius
"Darren"
This 'book' reads like a Powerpoint presentation. There's no depth to it, no substance, just headings and a few sentences to make the headings look expanded upon. They're not. I'm guessing it took the author about an hour to put together - half that if he used his actual Powerpoint slides. It's a waste of time, offers nothing of value, and shouldn't be offered on Amazon, even if it is free.
If this is a topic that interests you, try Leil Lowndes's book "How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships." It's a meaty book that actualy addresses the questions this book only pretends to address.

Doesn't really say anythingSep 09, 2012
By Entomy
This book doesn't actually say anything other than the generic "stop thinking this" or "don't do this, rather, do this" or "present your positive self". Okay, so how do I do that? An example would be lovely.
Some of the information, experts disagree with. For instance: swinging legs is often considered a display of child like joy; rarely anger. Rolling the foot on the ball of the ankle is a form of gravity defying behavior, and will more often than not, signify happiness. And tapping of the foot can mean anything from "I'm nervous and trying to calm myself down" to "I'm bored" to "I've got a lot of a stimulant in me" to "I'm angry". Things need to be viewed in context, not "this means that".
I was only reading this over looking for a good book on the subject for a friend of mine. I honestly cannot recommend something so lacking in substance and so generic it's misleading at times. The author should strongly consider expanding on the material, and then republishing.
