Excellent content

Solid. This book has a lot of useful information that is simple to digest and thorough enough to learn from has a ton of examples, but I found the last few chapters, the most beneficial and informative. This is the type of writing that can be enjoyed multiple times and you can still learn from it.

Terrible

A useless book but I started it so I had to finish. I would recommend Steve Aarnio instead or Dr Peterson

A great first book for someone just learning effective communication

Very basic techniques
The narrator did not have his best work here. I can hear he has great potential and hopefully he learned many lessons in this venture as to how to bring it out. Overall this is a good beginner book

Algunos insights y poco más

Me gusta que da algunas buenas herramientas para iniciar conversaciones pero se siente como un libro con ideas para otra generación.

Basic and Dry

This was not only the ABC crash course of communication that I’ve received from every sales training and customer service job I’ve ever worked, but I found the author to be egotistical in the first five minutes boasting about the success of this book, when once upon engaging in listening, I was bored to tears, hoping to sharpen my conversation skills only to be left disappointed in elementary conversation tips.
