Drawing on his many years as a radio host on a top-rated radio show in the New York City area, Joe shares a bevy of illuminating anecdotes featuring such superstars as Taylor Swift, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer, and Chris Martin that demonstrate how the right communication skills can create magic moments-while the wrong ones can derail an entire conversation.

Joe's mastery of "talking the talk" can work wonders in your personal life as well. If your everyday interactions aren't sparking your relationships, you'll discover how to not only find common ground with others but also create bonding opportunities that can carry you far in work, love, and life.
