In "Social Skills - Social Fluency" by Patrick King, the author underscores the profound idea that social success is indeed a learned behavior. King eloquently expresses the importance of understanding that genuine social habits are the key to navigating social interactions successfully. What resonates throughout the book is the notion that influence is intricately tied to the comfort level and ease that others feel in your presence.

King emphasizes the significance of creating an environment where others don't perceive you as a threat but rather as someone approachable and relatable. The idea that influence thrives in situations where control is willingly given speaks volumes about the need for mutual respect and understanding in our social interactions.

As King delves into the intricacies of communication skills, small talk, and people skills mastery, he not only provides practical insights but also instills a sense of encouragement for introverts. The acknowledgment that even introverts can master the art of being instantly likable underscores a compassionate approach to personal growth.

In essence, "Social Skills - Social Fluency" serves as a guide for fostering connections based on authenticity and understanding. King's emphasis on learned behavior and the nuanced dynamics of influence adds a layer of depth to the narrative, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their social fluency with sincerity and empathy.

If you take all the advice from the seduction section of Reddit you will have this book. It is a quick read with basic info of how to get started on being more social. The whole time I felt like it was some bro giving me a pep talk of how I need to be more social. It feels more like a conversation where the claims aren’t backed up by any research; just his anecdotal experience. At the end of the book I found out that the author is a dating coach then this whole book made sense. It’s a good place to get started for the very socially awkward. Something I wish I read earlier in my life when I was trying to figure this stuff out.

Very direct and to the point. As someone who considers myself socially stunted, this book pointed out to me how that is just an excuse, and I do have plenty of examples of when I was socially "masterful." The author inspires you to tap into this wisdom, and use it in any social situation, and stresses the importance of cultivating self-awareness of your own social energy output. I really enjoyed this short, but effective read.

The good stuff stated at Chapter 13

The first half of the book felt basic, a bit generic, and same old "winning at the club" type of thing.

But after chapter 13 I started to see practical advise for personal development. Which I really enjoyed. I only wish it was more of that.

Social Fluency feels like having a social coach right by your side—cheering you on to own every conversation and light up any room! Patrick King keeps it friendly and practical, with habits you can genuinely practice (no cheesy tricks here). There’s something for both introverts and extroverts, with mindset shifts and actionable tips that you’ll want to share at your next party. It’s a breezy, motivating read for anyone seeking real connection and instant likability

Do not let my rating keep you from reading this book. It has value. There are good tips for some, and side-eyes for others. The bonus is that the book is short, to the point—makes for an easy read. I did audible for this book.

Worth it

Great advice and I’ve been using the tools for a few days now with noticeable results. Some advice was common sense, but overall information I didn’t actually apply to my conversations. Thank you!

Easy to implement

This book is easy to read and it lets you know what to do and how to do it. I think after doing the exercises in the book they will become natural in everyday conversations.

Outstanding book

Great book which gives you mechanisms to improve your social fluency. Social feedback loop concept is a great idea to learn from every interaction.

Some good tips


Certain suggestions are helpful but I wouldn't expect this book will make any dramatic changes to your life. Human interactions are very subtle - if you were not born with an acute ability to read and react to social cues, it is not realistic that memorizing behaviors will get you there.

Learning

I highly recommend SOCIAL SKILLS - SOCIAL FLUENCY. Truth is we could all use more effective social skills, and this book maps it all out for us. Patrick King breaks down how to shine and be your best self in each section. With clever ideas, yet still easy to understand. This book has never been more needed than this year 2020. We need to get back to being a positive energy, to and for ourselves, and so we can treat each other with more respect and understanding. This book highlights that cause, appreciation, and the skills it takes to not only shine, but to let others shine too. A must-read for all ages!

Lot of interesting takeaways

I wrote a lot of notes while reading, as this book is pure how to in nature, with no story, filler, or research. Some of the topics here you will know, while others are less obvious.

Even if you are a social badass, it can probably leave you with a few "ah ha!" Moments.

I'll be back to review my notes in the future to make sure I'm applying some of the ideas, thus I feel the book deserves high praise.

Far exceeded expectations

Unlike other self help books I have read this book outlined several techniques that can be practiced to develop social fluency. I would recommend this book to any one looking for tips on how to develop lasting friendships.

[Toni Guerrero · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you feel awkward and stuck with a mouthful of teeth rather than something to say, I can recommend this book. Some great tips and deeper insights to move you into a more positive, fulfilling, social interaction with just about anyone!

[Todd Cheng · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay. A bit motivational and influential, but provided less content than I would have desired.

[Karen Whooley · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not a all what i expected

Lots of pater but nothing truly useful. More of his own life story than anything else. Nothing that connects to your own life.
