I respect the author's attempt and his positivity, but unless you are a neurodivergent person who doesn't know the first thing about having a conversation with someone, don't bother with this one. Most of the things explained in this book will sound like common sense and if you are expecting something like <b>How to win friends and influence people</b>, you will most likely be disappointed.
I didn't gain much from reading it, but it was okay overall.

3.0
This book is a good introduction to increasing your social skills. Conversational components such as body language, small talk, tone, emotions, story-telling, and developing friendships were broken down into easy-to-digest pieces that is not overwhelming. However, since these parts are broken down, the information is useful but sometimes seems generic or like common sense. The book is easy to read and is organized. Overall, it promotes healthy social skills and not social "tricks." If you are unsure about this book, go to http://www.improveyoursocialskills.com/, which provides a couple of free chapters for viewing.
