Reddit mentions of The Art of Civilized Conversation: A Guide to Expressing Yourself With Style and Grace

I found The Art of Civilized Conversation. Pretty good too, if a bit more 1-on-1 focused. It goes through stages of conversation, difficult styles and how to handle them, and what kind of conversations are appropriate to different settings. As someone who doesn't get much conversation practice, I re-read it periodically when I know I'm going into a very social situation.

Lemme save you all a bunch of money, or at least give you a way to spend your money with much greater utility:

The Art of Civilized Conversation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767921690 ($5-6 used)

How to Win Friends and Influence People: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671027034 ($3-4 used)

The latter is almost certainly available from your local library for free; it's an incredibly famous book. AoCC might be harder to find. SAoNGaF, definitely at almost any library. Many of these are probably available online from your library a e-books.

Both books will teach you general "how to People" skills that will be much more useful than a one-off conversation about "How the hell to talk to girls." You'll learn how to talk to your landlord, friends, coworkers, customers, etc.

There are also tons of youtube videos and posts about body language and such. DO NOT READ ANY FROM DATING SITES PRODUCING CONTENT FOR MEN, or subreddits of a similar vein. They're probably at least borderline pickup artist garbage.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck (under $10 used) is probably also a worthwhile read.

Another recommendation would be Bene Brown's video on empathy. It's barely three minutes long, so a real quick listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Evwgu369Jw She's an author as well, and her books are definitely available from a lot of libraries.

Lastly, and this may sound hilariously stupid, but: a recent edition of Emily Post's etiquette book, or something similar. Consider it the equivalent of a social behavior Dictionary,
