Full of Practical Information!!

This book was just amazing. I look at it as a manual in connecting. John really knows what he is talking about and can teach this topic inside and out.great personal anecdotes that bring the points to life. I have read this book several times and refer to it often as a guide during my life's journey

Theory backed up by practice!!

This book feels more like a small, portable communications workshop than just a written down lecture.This book is a fantasticly smooth read. It delivers a multitude of really good information that definitely helps and does so in a seemless way. I feel more confident in social situations and have begun chatting with strangers more often which I was too scared to do!!!

A must listen in any relationship.

This book is excellent. Although I found the techniques challenging to implement. If one can commit to using these principles, they will go a long way to offering a better relationship with your partner. I cannot say enough good things about this book. Such simple techniques that have such a huge effect. He explains why conflict starts to begin with, and offers practical, real tools to diffuse it (or avoid it to begin with).

A worthwhile listen.

I really enjoyed this book. I wanted to read it to help myself in communicating with others, as I am not always the best at communicating and this is great. This book isn't some traditional style of "self help". This is a remarkably useful book. While we are taught how to listen and to speak, almost no one learns how to listen properly. I can tell if you are a poor writer or poor speaker but neither you or I can tell if you are a great listener. So simple in its message but so powerful if you can live it.
This is a book that works as a love instruction manual.

Exactly what I was looking for!!!

This book will help anyone and any organization harness and then unleash the transformational magic of stories. A story is a re-lived experience. And because people remember what they experience, they remember stories.

The conciousness in our intentions

Mary did a beautiful job of taking a vast and esoteric concept and broke it all down in to manageable steps. The book was a fun read and it was easy to understand, whether you are a veteran or new to the concepts covered.This book is the guide to shift from average and survival to creating the life that you actually were meant to live!!
