In this bestselling guide to social success, communication expert Debra Fine reveals the techniques and strategies anyone can use to make small talk in any situation.

Does striking up a conversation with a stranger make your stomach do flip-flops? Do you spend time hiding out in the bathroom at social gatherings? Do you dread the very thought of networking? Is scrolling your phone a crutch to avoid interacting?

Help is on the way with The Fine Art of Small Talk, the classic guide that's now revised for the modern era. Small talk is more than just chitchat; it's a valuable tool to help you climb the corporate ladder, widen your business and social circles, and boost your self-confidence. With practical advice and simple conversation 'cheat sheets,' this book offers easy-to-learn techniques that will allow you to feel comfortable in any type of social situation-from a video meeting to a first date to a cocktail party where you don't know a soul. Communication expert Debra Fine will show you how to:

- Learn to connect with others regardless of the occasion, event or situation

- Come across as composed and self-assured when entertaining

- Avoid awkward silences and 'foot in mouth' disease

- Convey warmth and enthusiasm so that other people feel good about being near you

- Make a positive, lasting impression from the minute you say hello.

Once you master The Fine Art of Small Talk, you'll excel at making others feel included, valued and comfortable. Let Debra Fine turn you into a small-talk expert - and watch the contacts, business deals and social relationships multiply before your eyes!
