Expert advice compassionately delivered.
In "You Can Talk to Anyone," Ellen Dawson addresses the sense of disconnection and isolation many people experience today arising from poor communication skills. The Author offers practical guidance and effective communication skills to help readers overcome these feelings and develop meaningful relationships. Dawson talks about her own experiences making the content very relatable. Straight away, she offers techniques for changing habits of thought to encourage the reader into a new mindset regarding social interactions.
The book covers a range of important topics related to communication and interpersonal connections, like conversation branching (answering a question and adding a little more information as background) and techniques for building rapport. She covers a lot more, going into the differences between mental health and mental illness, and acknowledges that there are gaps in the research when it comes to effective conversation as social currency.
The whole world has been locked down for what seems like an age, and those who would normally have struggled as communicators must be doubly affected; in that sense, the book is timely. I don’t struggle to communicate, but a loved one does, so I listened to the book with keen interest. I believe this book is a valuable resource for all those who struggle to communicate and those who want to understand the barriers they face and help them.
I liked the psychology behind the information; I think it’s well-researched and science-based. The narration is easy to listen to. My preferred pace was 1.2.

I've suffered from social anxiety most of my life and still, at times, struggle with this. Struggling with self-confidence and communicated with others has been quite hindering socially, personally, and professionally. This book was a lovely listen, providing much information, tips, advice, and a basically a pathway to overcoming my fear by working on my communication skills. A helpful listen for sure.

Very helpful
This book is definitely helpful. I have always been a loner, but I've had social customer service jobs. Most people just say, "Just go talk to people", but I am so glad that this book emphasizes that something like that is not that easy when you have trouble being social and that it is a mental battle first before taking that step. The fact that this book also provides realistic tips on how to connect with others is a plus. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a form of social anxiety or just has trouble communicating in general.

You will benefit from this book!
Author Ellen Dawson does a beautiful job shedding light on a topic that so many of us struggle with. She opens up about her own challenges with relating and communicating with others. I love her honesty, understanding, and practical ways to overcome isolation, fear, and insecurity. As someone who was painfully shy as a child, I still struggle with situations or settings that require talking with people, especially those I don't know. I taught 2nd grade for many years, but avoided adult communication with other teachers. I don't like large gatherings and would rather not be noticed. This book gives such good strategies to overcome those feelings, and empowers us to develop non-stressful communication skills. Loneliness and fear keep us from human interaction, which is what we need, especially in these times. I know you will benefit from this book! 5 stars!

Great practical tips and advice
Ellen Dawson's insights into effective communication skills are truly transformative. The three key highlights that stood out to me were the importance of small talk, the power of listening, and building rapport with anyone. I particularly resonated with Dawson's emphasis on the art of active listening. As someone who has struggled with this in the past, the practical tips provided throughout the audiobook were incredibly helpful and eye-opening.
The main takeaway I got from this book is that effective communication is not just about what we say, but how we say it. By taking the time to understand and connect with others on a deeper level, we can build meaningful relationships that are based on trust, respect, and understanding.
I also have to give a shoutout to the narrator, who was an absolute pleasure to listen to. Their voice was clear, engaging, and really brought the book to life. Overall, I would highly recommend "You Can Talk to Anyone" to anyone looking to improve their communication skills and build stronger relationships with those around them.
