RE: How To Win Friends & Influence Relationships!
Besides the corny title which I assume is taken from "How to win friends and influence people" I think you are really spot on with your key takeaways. As you touch upon, being a good listener is way more important than being a good talker in a sense. You can literally sit quite through a whole conversation while nodding and occasionally asking intriguing question and that person will feel that you were a very fun person to talk to.
Another thing I think about with regards to that thought-pattern is the concept described in the book "7 habits of highly effective people", where one chapter is named "Seek first to understand, then to be understood". Something 99% of people miss on a daily. Combine those two concepts and you will definitely be perceived as an amazing person ✌🏼
Hahaha you saw that title ;) I appreciate your feedback on the conversation, definitely helps a lot to just sit back and be a responsive listener! It's a masterful way of feeling comfortable in almost all conversations (except ones where people are shy and quiet, then you have to take the reigns!).
I like that quote, I'm gonna check that out man thanks!
