This audio book goes in the "Top 10 Things I Should Never Have Wasted My Money On" list. The author's voice is terribly irritating and is worstened by the overdramatic way in which she reads. I suffered through CD #1 and got half way through #2 before I just couldn't take it anymore. The reason I listened so long is because I kept waiting to get some little tidbit of information that might help me justify the $25 I spent on this audio book. No such luck. The content of this book is nothing more than trite methods we have all heard over and over again. The author gives these methods long, silly names and attempts to pass them off as new ideas. I am sad to say that I cannot find one redeeming quality of this book. Spend your money on something else.

I agree with most everyone here. I couldn't absorb very much, the reading distracted my mind. At very first I thought I wasn't concentrating, so went back and paid fullest attention. Yet the reading confused my mind enough not to be able to listen properly.
The reader changes inflection and emphasis every three, four, or five words. Your mind hears words, but also hears all the strong emphasis, and tries to put the two streams of information together. But they don't fit together. The emphasis is gratuitous, rarely having anything to do with the words--some sort of over-acting? So your mind (at least my mind) can't put the two streams of information together very well, and seems to get subconsciously sidetracked or something. I was trying to focus, it was weird, my mind couldn't, it was being tricked to listen to two stories that my mind insisted were one.
But you can't just ignore the emphasis because it's part of the voice that is the carrier of the words.
I'm sorry to give this a 1-star rating, because the content in book form might be good. But what other rating can I give it if I can't finish it and got nothing from it? A waste of money. Buy the book, it may be good.

It is very ironic that a lesson on communication can be so hard to listen to! That said, I listened to this audio book 3 times. The ideas presented by Ms. Lowndes are fantastic, and I've made quite a few changes in my conversation since listening to the book - all which have proved to be quite successful. But I do agree with some of the other reviewers, the reading really is over dramatized... but if you can get past it, this is a wonderful book!

I absolutely love the book. I keep it in the car and keep on listening over and over.
The book offers very practical advice for everyday social situations and is packed with wisdom.

After reading the book, I wanted to hear it in the author's own words so I bought the audiobook. Her points are even more powerful when you hear them because you know her heart and soul went into it. Let me repeat the review I wrote on her book because everything I said holds true for the audiobook.
I have always known that good communicating is the key to professional and personal success. I have read a lot on the subject. And I can honestly say THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ ON COMMUNICATING. From "Hello" to "Good-bye" it covers every aspect of interpersonal communicating. Whether your goals are getting new business, making more friends, or getting someone to fall in love with you, the author's tips are unique and priceless. Even ones you might think you've seen like "smile at people," are presented in a new and powerful way. She gives directions on how to give "The Slow Flooding Smile" so it comes across as more genuine to people.
I am a big Leil Lowndes fan and I think this is her best yet.
She starts with how to make a dynamic and unforgettable very first impression in ways I've never read elsewhere. She gives a few unbelievable technique so conversation never dies (if you don't want it to.) She then tells how to "work a party like a politician works a room." She even covers how to be sensational on the phone.
From there the book starts getting into highly sophisticated techniques to turn people into friends, clients or lovers. Or tangle with tigers in the business world.
I can't reccomend it highly enough.
