Learn to communicate effectively--and painlessly--with this guided workbook's 100+ writing prompts and activities. The pandemic took its toll on many aspects of our lives: our desire to go outside, our ability to get properly dressed, and our capacity for face-to-face communication. But while things are mostly back to normal, there is now a pandemic of loneliness afflicting adults. Sometimes seen as trite or trivial, uncomfortable or even embarrassing, small talk--or the polite conversation about unimportant or uncontroversial topics--is actually a necessary skill for any adult. Small talk not only helps you connect to other people, but in doing so, it helps to build confidence in social situations, which in turn enhances health, lifts mood and energy, and improves overall well-being. In The Art of Small Talk, you will work through a series of exercises, activities, and writing prompts to help you better engage with other people. Topics cover: The Four Steps of Small Talk "Micro-interactions," such as a giving or receiving a compliment or having a quick chat in the elevator How to widen the range of people you interact with, such as the barista, an Uber driver, or that person in accounting How to overcome feelings that others won't be interested in what you have to say How to ask questions of others Prompts and verbal cues for starting (and ending) a conversation A unique chapter about written communication, which is its own form of small talk and so much more! Activities, challenges, and assignments include things like going on a "Small Talk Scavenger Hunt"--the idea being that as you find, approach, and talk to strangers, you'll grow more optimistic and confident in your conversational skills--plus many more fun things that will make you the talk of the town. With loneliness at epidemic proportions, people are yearning more than ever to connect. All it takes is a little bit of small talk to make that first connection--and The Art of Small Talk is the light-hearted, trusted companion you need.

We all know eloquence when we hear it. But what exactly is it? And how might we gain more of it for ourselves? This entertaining and, yes, eloquent book illuminates the power of language from a linguistic point of view and provides fascinating insights into the way we use words. David Crystal, a world-renowned expert on the history and usage of the English language, probes the intricate workings of eloquence. His lively analysis encompasses everyday situations (wedding speeches, business presentations, storytelling) as well as the oratory of great public gatherings. Crystal focuses on the here and now of eloquent speaking—from pitch, pace, and prosody to jokes, appropriateness, and how to wield a microphone. He explains what is going on moment by moment and examines each facet of eloquence. He also investigates topics such as the way current technologies help or hinder our verbal powers, the psychological effects of verbal excellence, and why certain places or peoples are thought to be more eloquent than others. In the core analysis of the book, Crystal offers an extended and close dissection of Barack Obama’s electrifying “Yes we can” speech of 2008, in which the president demonstrated full mastery of virtually every element of eloquence—from the simple use of parallelism and an awareness of what not to say, to his brilliant conclusion constructed around two powerful words: dreams and answers.
