How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere

Larry King Β· 1995
68/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

Larry King had as much practical standing to write this book as anyone alive in 1995, and the anecdotes from decades of high-profile interviews do make abstract communication principles feel real. But thirty years on, the media landscape has shifted enough that the examples feel dated, and reviewers consistently agree there's little here that hasn't been said better elsewhere β€” it's a pleasant read, not an essential one.

✦ Penny’s Take β€” this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β€” not a page-by-page personal one. The gold βœ“ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
