'Josh's openness, relatability, and honesty has singled him out as a voice of today, worthy of global amplification' - Lily Collins

As a celebrity interviewer, Josh Smith has talked with people of every background, mood and personality, and had them open up like never before. He believes there's an art and a science to a great chat and understanding it can unlock a whole world of connection. This essential guide is filled with simple tricks and accessible tools which will help you in any kind of conversation and in any environment. Great Chat includes seven key lessons that will teach you:

- Why asking questions can build emotional intelligence and make you more likeable
- How listening twice as much as talking can change your social life and improve your relationships
- How to embrace difficult conversations and why they are good for you, plus so much more.

Conversation is the original self-help practice that has existed since humans first learnt to communicate and, ever since, we have used it to broaden our understanding of the world and personally grow. From starting out in a new industry, navigating digital dating, or trying to make friends later in life, our ability to communicate remains of vital importance. Whether you're a confident communicator or struggle socially, we need to relearn the art of conversation and Josh is here to show us how.
