Dimulai dengan pernyataan besar: orang yang sukses adalah pembicara yang sukses. Larry King membeberkan segala pengalaman, tips dan trik, dan seni berbicara yang membuatnya menjadi terkenal seperti sekarang. “Berbicara itu seperti bermain golf, mengendarai mobil, atau mengelola toko—semakin sering melakukannya, semakin mahir Anda jadinya, dan semakin senang Anda melakukannya,” kata pembawa acara Larry King Live CNN ini.
Setiap orang bisa bicara, tapi tidak semuanya bisa berbicar...more

This is not a good self-help book, contrary to what it's title suggests. Larry King takes his experience in radio and tv presentation, derives lessons that he himself learnt from them and presents them to the reader. As a result, "How-tos" are not presented in a very clear chronological way but rather a-la Aesop's fables. It's got a stronger bent towards how to do public speaking , be it speaking to large crowds or on tv/radio because that's where his experience lies. For the layman, i...more

halah...
ini buku isinya cuma kesaksian-kesaksian melulu.
tidak ada frame konseptual yang bisa kita jadikan andalan.
kayak baca buku sejenis the secret, bepikir dan berjiwa besar... buku-buku how-to gaya amrik itu.
ecpet selesai bacanya!
eh,
ntar dulu.
rupanya emang gini gaya penulisannya, membikin lancar seperti orang bertutur.
nah, setelah baca dengan agak tenang baru bisa memetik manfaatnya.

Orang yang bekerja di bidang komunikasi publik
Judulnya sih mengatakan bahwa seolah-olah buku ini adalah buku self-help tentang bagaimana menjadi pembicara yang baik.
Itu bohong.
Tidak sepenuhnya bohong sih. Memang ada sedikit nasihat dan tips, tapi dia (Larry King) tidak bilang kalau tipsnya terlalu spesifik. Tips di buku ini akan sangat bermanfaat kalau si pembaca adalah orang yang bekerja di bidang komunikasi publik, jadi nasihat-nasihat buku ini kurang tepat kalau dipakai di pembicaraan informal sehari-hari.

So I listened to an abridged audio version of this book while traveling last weekend. I really enjoyed it. Larry King discusses his start in the communications business - and all that he has learned about communicating in his many years since. Things I remember most . . . I was struck with a little bit of envy - thinking about all the people he has interviewed and learned from - presidents, sports stars, business executives, etc . . . what a fascinating job that must be. He said that he alwa...more

Very conservative, very classical. Something you'd like to read if you'd like the same type of a career. You won't use it in casual life.

Larry King shares a lot of stories from his early days in radio and television in this book. It's a great read!

siapa saja yang masih memerlukan komunikasi
Komunikasi dan interpretasi -dengan berbagai perspektifnya- tanpa disadari sebetulnya merupakan dua "alat" terpenting untuk dapat bertahan hidup dalam peradaban yang senantiasa berkembang. Pengalaman Larry King dalam berkomunikasi mungkin dapat diadaptasi dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari sebagai suatu refleksi dan pedoman. Namun, dalam situasi dan kondisi tertentu, bagaimana cara kita berkomunikasi selama ini dan yang akan datang seyogyanya diselaraskan dengan cara pandang/budaya setem...more

Saya punya yang edisi Indonesia, yg cover-nya warna merah.
Menurut saya isi buku ini lumayan, menjelaskan beberapa ide/topik pembicaraan yang bisa diangkat sesuai dengan lawan bicara atau situasi. Meski demikian, tidak semua ide yg ditawarkan dlm buku ini aplikatif utk lingkungan indonesia, ya wajar saja sbb memang penulis (Larry King) bukan dari indonesia. Yang jelas cukup bagus :)

I read about 25% of this book and would not recommend it. I was expecting Larry King to teach "How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere," and instead I read story after story of how to pat yourself on the back if you're Larry King, for being able to talk to people. The pages dripped of ego, and I couldn't bring myself to continue to see if lessons could be learned on the subject matter.

Larry King melalui buku ini hendak membagi ilmunya bagaimana kita dapat berbicara kepada siapa saja, kapan saja, dan di mana saja. Cocok bagi pribadi yang mengalami kesulitan untuk berbicara dengan orang lain, sulit menyesuaikan diri dengan teman2 baru, maupun berbicara dalam konteks formal seperti presentasi, seminar, dan sebagainya..

A fun book from the king of talk, Larry King himself. I'm not sure my communication skills improved much (how can they improve when they are at perfection...har, har), but I didn't spend much time working on them. I enjoyed it, and it was an entertaining and enlightening book.

Larry King advice on becoming a good speaker and conversationalist.
Nothing that revolutionary or new but works as a basic and simply book on the subject. Some of the stories he tells are better than the advice, particularly the one about betting on a fixed horse race.

I picked this book up from the Library because I liked the title. I thought it was pretty basic information though and his experiences are a bit dated now. Most of the book is also geared toward public speaking and business commmunications...not as applicable to me.

people who lack of communications;)
Communication...and interpretation, the two most essential 'tools' for survival:) Larry's experiences could be adopted into our daily life, but in certain circumstances, our communication itself should be handle properly according to the cultures of "where & who".

Not bad, though I thought it was more blablabla than anything and to tell you the truth, I couldn't buy the examples he gave, they just look too perfect for what he was saying, is it a coincidence? but all in all, there is some good advice in the book

never mind advices from a Larry King (his real name is Zeiger btw) his takeaways of his guests are more fun: his worst ones are Anita Bryant who can't stop talking about religions (zealots are the worst), and Bob Hope, who always respond with a gag.
