This book is written for someone who wishes to improve their communication skills. The good news is that with some effort and desire, you can become a better communicator.

The activities were a great way for interactive learning and application. That makes the book have a workbook feel to it which I like. This is a useful personal and professional development book to help you grow.

A helpful book to dip into when needed, and consult for more confidence in communication. Some echoes of NLP in there. I'm finding it useful most as something I can consult when needed rather than pore over cover-to-cover

I really feel this will help me to help friends who struggle to communicate. I learned so much about what their unspoken perspectives may be and how to empathise and listen more attentively. I also appreciated the levels of compromise and believe this will. make tremendous difference to how I assess my own way of communicating and consciously make a shift to do it more connectively.

I think the book has enough detail to articulate the point but not too much that you waste any time, it is just the right amount of detail. The steps mentioned are actionable and relatively easy to implement in normal conversation so I would recommend it to anyone seeking to improve their communication skills.

This is a clear but comprehensive guide to building the skills needed to communicate with people more effectively. I really liked the simplicity of the model precursors and its application to a variety of scenarios - meeting new people, professional life, and deeper personal connections. Lots of case studies and hands-on activities help you put it into practice.

Very disapppointing. The book reads like a blog with very few references to research material and a lightweight bibliography at the back. I can only assume this is aimed at teenagers or very young adults. Anyone with a degree of life experience will be disappointed. There is no way to validate the author, background and qualification to write on the subject. The cover, type and title is very similar to the cover of another book of a similar title. This really causes a credibility issue for me. My main issue is the lack of understanding of the complexity of the communication process together with a lack of in depth substantiated information. Sadly I didn't learn anything from this book. I am unable to recommend this book sadly.
