How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: The Secrets of Good Communication, by Larry King, is a fun, short book to read.

Larry did a service to the public by writing this book and elaborating on some guiding principles that have helped him succeed in his career of--well, talking.

Novel among his concepts is the premise that successful people are good talkers and good talkers are successful people.  I can't think of a more appropriate industry than IT to be reminded that we need to improve our speaking skills.

Larry's stories transcend many areas of life: from managing people, to interviewing for a job, to public speaking, to talking your way out of the principal's office--Larry has a story for everyone in this book.
