A beautiful and practical book for introverts

Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2024

I have read many books about introverts but this book is a real gem, I highly recommend it to anyone because it's easy to read, packed with simple yet powerful techniques that can be used in everyday life. One technique I really appreciate is about breathing—it's incredibly useful yet often overlooked. Beyond the practical techniques, the author also shares real-life experiences and advice that I wish I had known when I was younger.

Well Researched and Practical Advice Coming from a Caring Heart

Reviewed in Canada on June 24, 2024

This book is filled with insights and practices that I wish I had read years ago. It covers everything from breathing techniques (to calm our nerves) and strategies for building trust (through opening up ourselves), to eliminating self-criticism and nurturing self-compassion through visualization. Drawing on academic research, practical advice from renowned news anchors and actors, and touching personal stories, the book provides a comprehensive guide to gradually finding comfort in public speaking and communication. I've taken many notes throughout and just hope I will actually follow through with its recommended practices.

Communication tactics for everyone.

Clear, concise and good tips for everyone. A silver lining of "Introvert" personality does exists in all of us, even as "Extroverts", we do have our introvert moments.

This book provides clear communication pointers with substantial research done, references conducted and quoted.

What I like is also the guides in how you can practice to be more effective or just as a starting point.

Definitely a good book to follow and read, along with ready-to-go practical guide that I'd recommend hands down.

"How to Speak to Anyone" by Jen Mulan is a gem of a book, especially for those who, like myself, identify as introverts but find themselves in leadership roles or needing to make presentations. Mulan's practical advice on techniques such as breathing and visualization is incredibly accessible and easy to implement. As someone who often feels the weight of public speaking, her insights on effective communication during Zoom calls or during in person meetings couldn't have come at a better time for me.

One particular statement of Mulan's resonated deeply with me: "When your voice is aligned with your personal truth, your communication will be impactful and genuine." This idea encapsulates the essence of the book and underscores the importance of authenticity in communication.

Overall, "How to Speak to Anyone" is a fantastic resource for anyone who has ever felt invisible or struggled to find their voice. Mulan's guidance empowers readers to gain confidence and ensures that their ideas are heard loud and clear. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to enhance their communication skills and make a lasting impression.
