THE ART OF MINGLING

Martinet's fundamental reminder at the beginning of this audiobook--that everyone is at a party to have fun--is a powerful tool to help those with "mingle-phobia" successfully implement her techniques for getting around any party. Her congenial presentation makes it easy to imagine what she herself is like at parties: fluid and approachable. She offers helpful "do's" and "don'ts," even a quiz in which she asks whether or not a given opening line is appropriate for a certain type of gathering. The best part of this tape is that it's not just for social caterpillars; the butterflies can learn from it, too. R.A.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 96]
