Having read the original I'll have to say that my takeaway from this post is very similar to what I thought about the book. The overall sentiment and advice are great and extremely helpful but the specific examples are bad and should be taken with a grain of salt. The thing I've learned from the book is that your approach to life and social situations can be improved, but applying a "conversational algorithm" to real life will only make you come across as naive at best and a farce with no personality at worst.
Fair point - there isn't one true formula on this. I was just trying to share some concrete examples to point folks in the right direction
