Applicable to Daily Life

What a great read, really loving these books on communication by the author, very effective for daily life.

overgeneralization

There are several places where the author assumes that a person needs to correct someone else for a feeling of superiority, which is often true. But I feel that it isn't always the case. I feel the author sees only one possibility and presents it in a blanket statement. There are so many reasons and thinking and backgrounds. it seems a shame to teach there is oboe one.

Wish there was a PDF

I wish there was a PDF to accompany this book because there is a diagragm the book talks about that I wish I could see to know what it was talking about more fully.

Improve Your People Skills

I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I think we all need this book. I was able to see a lot of ways that I, even now, push people away with how I act and communicate. I don't intend to be mean or toxic or inconsiderate, but that's often how I come across. I'll have to go back through and listen to specific parts that apply more to me, but even just listening through once, I was able to take away immediately applicable information. Thank you!

Not overly bad

This has helpful tips. I had a bit of trouble not nodding off. The narrator had a kind of Monotone voice. soothing but not engaging.
