Better Small Talk taught me that in order to have a conversation you have to listen deeply to what is being said and to how it is being said both verbally and nonverbally. Look at the facial cues and their expressions and how their body is positioned towards or away from you. Remember small talk in some cultures is not the norm and you have to adapt to that culture. But what I learned is that sometimes whilst small talk is great just sitting or keeping yourself busy whilst others talk is better and listening keeenly and deeply to what is being discussed without offering a running commentary is the most important skill of all. And that is my favorite thing to do.

One thing I would love to implement from this book is the art of having a two minute conversation without flustering and walking away mentally. The author does give excellent points which I will be using in my conversations going forward.

2/22/23. Read People Like a Book: How to Analyze, Understand, and Predict People’s Emotions, Thoughts, Intentions, and Behaviors (How to be More Likable and Charismatic) by Patrick King

Why I picked this book up: I am a licensed Psychologist and have been doing some personally disorders work. This title interested me so I read it.

Thoughts: In undergrad and Masters level training I remember the Myers-Briggs personality type indicators, saw this test online years ago and remember people claiming it was very accurate in their lives. As I read through this types like the ENFJ (which was my score back then) came up.

Why I finished this read: This book was not in death, it did not give examples of what the research said that I can remember and overall was interesting to read about nonverbal body language. It layer out a lot of information, said it was not always the same and recommended evaluating more and using other indicators being socially conscious and observant. Though I found this book ok, it needed more but it was a good start.

Stars rating: because it was sort of a refresher or introduction it needed much more depth. I gave it a 2 out if 5 stars.

Great ideas about mindset and endurance, but I felt it is just an other inspirational book, no added value for me.
