Everyone can talk and loves to talk, but choosing the right topic and tone, stating your thoughts clearly and precisely, and getting the other person to open up in a trusting conversation—convincing them you’re right—that is a whole art. This book by a well-known communication expert, Allan Pease, will teach you how to separate phrases of formal politeness from the seeds of truth and to decode the nonverbal signals your conversation partner is sending. You will be able to assess the sincerity of your partner and correctly interpret their thoughts. And the ability to give compliments and listen carefully will not only help you succeed in your personal life, but also raise you to the top of your professional career—making you a “master of conversation.”
