# The Art of Mingling by Jeanne Martinet (Paperback)

**Fully revised with 40% new material—presented with Jeanne Martinet's trademark wit and practicality—_The Art of Mingling_ provides you with everything you need to help you thrive at any in-person gathering.**  
  
Does the idea of going to a party make your mouth go dry? Are you more comfortable on FaceTime than you are face-to-face? Do you find yourself living a screen-only life? You're not alone; ninety percent of the world suffers from minglephobia, and Jeanne Martinet has the cure.  
  
While most people have always had a fear of mixing with new people, our digital reality promotes an ever-increasing trend toward social isolation, and the habits we acquired during the pandemic have cause our mingling muscles to atrophy even more. We need face-to-face conversations as much as we need food or air. _The Art of Mingling_ encourages you to get off your apps, get back out there and make real-life connections. In this well-timed fourth edition, the author has completely updated her sure-fire system for overcoming social fears and having a great time at any type of business or social get-together.  
  
Filled with both simple and advanced techniques, tricks, tips, lines, and maneuvers, and illustrated with entertaining examples, _The Art of Mingling_ teaches you:  
  
\* The value of interacting in person  
\* Basic survival strategies for the Truly Terrified  
\* Opening lines and gambits that really work  
\* Tools and rules for keeping the conversation going in the right direction
