Even the most confidant among us has had the uncomfortable experience of going to a party and finding a sea of smiling, talking strangers. Discomfort may turn to knocking knees and a tied tongue when this happens to those of us with an average quota of self-confidence.

How do you fit in? How do you begin a conversation with someone about whom you know absolutely nothing? Heaven forbid you mention the weather! Maybe you should just keep eating canapes and leave early!

Not at all, thanks to Jeanne Martinet (author of "Getting Beyond Hello") and her witty wellspring of advice all of us can discover opening lines that really do the trick, master polite escape techniques, and not only recover but triumph over a social faux pas.

The days of terror at teas or being struck dumb at soirees are over because Martinet's tutorial includes The Flattery Entree, the Hors d'oeuvre Maneuver, The Fade (and the Fade Out) plus many more ideas to get you and keep you in the swim.

Read in a warm, assured voice by the author "The Art of Mingling" will soon have you morphing into the social butterfly you were meant to be.

Enjoy!

Terrified of networking? This book is a refreshing, fun guide to "working the room". Plenty of very useable tools, tips and tricks that you can actually use in actual situations. Whether you are meeting new contacts for your business or just navigating your social atmosphere, this handy guide will get you out there without having to act like a used car salesman.

I enjoyed the author's realistic edge - it made the book a joy to read.
