Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - best resource I know for teaching interviewing.
This is the best resource I know to learn or teach interviewing skills for therapists, journalists, and anyone else who interviews for a living. I checked this out years ago from the library and it was already out of print. I been a social worker, teacher and therapist for over 30 years and recommend this book to my graduate students in field placement. They have to hunt to find it but they all agree it is well worth it to find this fun and easy to read guide to overcoming your self consciousness, preconceived notions, biases and fears and genuinely get into the moment and situation of the interview.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gentle and lovely
Whenever I observe Barbara Walters on television she has shown calm and composure consistently. Reading the hardback first edition of "How to Talk with Practically Anybody about Practically Anything" I was amazed and totally taken in on all her purposeful little details of kindness woven through her plans of action. In her chapters she has great timing with laugh out loud humor woven throughout. Initially I had planed to brief this book, pick out chapters, not go through the whole thing word for word, but her writing pulled me in with gentle attraction, what a darling woman. Reading this book gives me fresh picture of authenticity in the human being, Barbara Walters. What a lovely lady.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lots of helpful tips!
I really liked this book! Ms. Walters reminds readers of some simple yet helpful things. For instance, she urges us not to be afraid to talk to a celebrity if we see one ("he or she has to talk to someone while waiting for their coffee to cool, and it might as well be you"), but she also includes useful cautionary notes ("never tell someone they look better in person than they do on television" or vice versa; don't mention a person's work unless you're *positive* it's theirs). She also talks about how to get along in lots of other situations. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their conversational skills.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Bad.
Not very good. Title is decepive. More like an overview of Barb's old historical interviews.
