About book Always Know What To Say: Easy Ways To Approach And Talk To Anyone (2011)
I really liked this one. It's simple and easy to follow. I'm pretty good at having conversations, but I was interested to see what I could learn. I did find some tips that I'll be able to use in order to make the conversations I have more effective. It also talked quite a bit about branching out. I won't lie this is not my strong suit. This book did give me ideas, however, on how to improve that and I plan to refer to this book whenever I feel I might be slipping. I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt and say he probably was not writing this with autism in mind. Or anxiety. Well, anxiety past the "cute and quirky, with sweaty hands" stage, anyway. This book does not deal with what to do when you vomit on that cute stranger.For the first half it seems to be afraid of commas. Towards the end it becomes apparent that the writer doesn't understand that commas, force a pause. See what I did there? I got all self demonstrating up in this bitch.Some sentences used far more words than needed. The points repeated themselves a lot, and were mostly common sense stuff. No shit, if you want to hang out with friends you need to go and hang out with your friends. It also treated going to events as this weirdly self-perpetuating cycle. You go out and you get invited to go out more, that much is obvious, but the book puts it in such a way that I wondered "what's the point? There's no end to this. There's not even a goal. Just go out and fucking do it so you can it some more.". I was struck by how many things like this we encounter daily. I was struck by how bizarre and pointless life is. This is one of those books that made me question my continued existence.
