About the Book

The compliment that award-winning talk show host and best-selling author Tavis Smiley hears most, from both guests and viewers/listeners, is about his ability to get people to open up and share. Granted, hes been developing this art form for years--but the point is he learned how to do it, and so can others. This book will be based on the methods Tavis has employed to conduct amazing conversations with thousands of people for 25 years. He will share the strategies he has used to create conversation that helps people relax, get comfortable, open up, offer insights, share secrets, and disclose information that they never intended to reveal.

Whos got the time or patience for small talk these days? Not most people. This book reveals the secret sauce for how to conduct conversations at work, home, or play that are rewarding, not draining. Readers will discover ways to connect with the humanity in people through civil conversation thats never condescending, conversation thats always insightful and never insulting.
Chapters include:

  • Finding the Sweet Spot - how to make people comfortable in conversation
  • Its A Conversation, Not an Interrogation - how to make people feel less defensive
  • What Are You Trying to Prove - how to make the conversation about them, not you
  • Connect the Dots - how to make the conversation seamless, not disjointed and circuitous
  • Body Talk - how to read body language cues and let your posture speak effectively for you
  • Dont Drop the Bomb on Me - how to prep for a difficult conversation
and more

About the Author

From his celebrated conversations with world figures to his work to inspire the next generation of leaders, Tavis Smiley--broadcaster, author, publisher, advocate, and philanthropist--has emerged as an outstanding voice for change. Smiley is currently the host of the late-night television talk show Tavis Smiley on PBS, as well as The Tavis Smiley Show from Public Radio International (PRI).
Smiley has written 21 books. His memoir, What I Know for Sure: My Story of Growing Up in America, became a New York Times bestseller, and the book he edited, Covenant with Black America, became the first nonfiction book by a black-owned publisher to reach #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. In the New York Times bestseller The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto, Smiley and his co-author, Dr. Cornel West, challenge all Americans to re-examine their assumptions about poverty in America--what it really is and how to eradicate it.
Smileys book My Journey with Maya, is being adapted as a stage play by Tony-winning director Kenny Leon. The book chronicles his almost 30-year friendship with the iconic poet Maya Angelou. Smileys 2014 New York Times bestseller, Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.s Final Year, and his most recent text, Before You Judge Me: The Triumph and Tragedy of Michael Jacksons Last Days, are both being developed as television event series with Emmy-winner J.J. Abrams and Smiley as co-producers, in partnership with Warner Brothers.
The nonprofit Tavis Smiley Foundation is in the midst of a $3 million four-year campaign called ENDING POVERTY: Americas Silent Spaces, to alleviate endemic poverty in America.
TIME magazine has cited Smiley as one of The Worlds 100 Most Influential People, and he has been honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Website: www.tavistalks.com
