Publisher's summary

Do you want to learn how to communicate effectively? If yes, then keep reading....

Effective communication begins at the point where a person gets an idea or information about something and the intention to share the information with the next recipient. The individual will choose which medium to use while conveying the information to the next party. The choice of the mode of transmitting the information guarantees that the message is understood correctly by the receiving party.

For a communication to be effective, it has to retain the initial message that was intended to be shared and not distort even a single meaning that was supposed to be passed on, regardless of the mode of transmitting the information. Therefore, the initial idea or message meets the purpose as to what it was structured and planned for.

The mode as to what will be conveyed is responsible for how the message will be understood and the amount of time that it will take for a response to be received. If the reaction to a message or idea is not received on time, some factors such as alterations to the information could be the reason.

In this audiobook, you will find practical strategies which can help you overcome the most significant barriers of communication and discover the amazing feeling you get from learning the skills that are essential to making your communication effective.

This bundle covers the following topics:

  • Social skills
  • How to improve your charisma
  • And much more

There are a lot of barriers to communication in the recent years. It is fundamental to get solutions to having the barriers around while communication.

Great little guide

No, it will not make you able to come up to random people in the streets and become best friends with them instantly. What it will do is motivate you to become more confident in your abilities. Also, to take your life into your own hands and start improving your social skills. Only you can do it, and that is what it teaches you. The amount of information this audiobook contains will be sufficient to keep you going and break through the barriers you thought were impossible to overcome. Anything is possible if you work hard enough for it, even if it takes weeks, months, or even years. This fantastic audiobook will guide you onto the path of social success!

People become easier to understand

The chapter titled “Communication” is a great chapter to listen to. Not only if you want to understand how to make proper introductions, but also how to turn strangers into new friends. I’m a relatively shy and timid person who stays at home most of the time. This audiobook helped me understand how to overcome my shyness and fear in various social situations and deal with tricky moments. I would highly recommend this audiobook by Ted Goleman. It covers so much information, and it is incredibly helpful in you reaching your full social potential! It is truly worthy of five stars!

A lifesaver for a busy bee

I am quite a busy woman with little time to think about self-improvement while juggling work and home life. However, I decided to get this audiobook to listen to it when I clean, cook, or go for a morning jog. I was skeptical at first but gave it a go. The first thing to notice – the narrator’s voice is so calming and clear that it makes you relax and focus on the content. I have to admit that this book has helped me reignite my social skills and improve my relationships with coworkers and friends. It gives plenty of advice on dealing with social situations and how to become more confident in your abilities.

Talented individuals

This audiobook results from multiple talented individuals working together – the author made sure the information is indeed correct and easy to understand and follow. On the other hand, the narrator made the audiobook a pleasure to listen to thanks to their soothing and clear voice and perfect pronunciation.

This audiobook makes you act

Honestly, I did not think that a book could do anything to improve one’s social skills. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. While only listening through it and not acting upon what you listen to may not do much, it shouldn’t be a problem with this audiobook. It motivates you to put in the work. Not only can you improve your general ability to communicate with others around you, but you can also change any ‘bad’ social habits you have. All that is needed is knowledge and motivation, both of which the audiobook provides! I am delighted with my purchase, and to be honest, I have not felt this confident in a long time.

Best guide for communication

If you have scoured the internet for the best guide on communication, you have found it now. This guide is undoubtedly the best for improving one’s social skills and communication I have ever purchased (and there have been many!). I have listened through this so many times that I have lost count. The narrator’s performance and quality of the information provided by the author are both outstanding. I do not think I would be able to handle any form of socializing with strangers if it wasn’t for this fantastic guide. That is why I am giving it a 5 out of 5!

Taught me to communicate well

One thing that hits you and brings your confidence right down is being told you are not a good talker. Unfortunately, I have experienced this on multiple occasions and decided to get a guide to communicating well with others. This audiobook has taught me how to become more confident in myself and less worried about communication in general. I do not have a fear of making a fool of myself anymore. It is all thanks to this fabulous guide by Ted Goleman; now, I can arrange to have coffee meet-ups without issues! Thanks again for turning my social life around.

Meeting people

Parties and events are not things that I enjoy. I am a relatively quiet and reserved man. However, when I start talking about something I am interested in, I do not shut up for ages; this has made me think I am a nuisance when meeting new people, so I became more withdrawn. I was given this audiobook as a gift from a friend. I am very impressed with it so far! I listen to it over morning coffee, and one chapter, in particular, stuck with me already - “Don’t Be Afraid to Become Passionate.” The author knew what to say to help me come out of my shell and become more confident in myself and the things I love.

Negativity begone!

This audiobook was extremely good at helping me realize that there is more to life than waiting for validation from other people or suffering from negativity. The chapter “Refuse to Engage In Negative Conversation” really helped me see that you can indeed refuse to get involved with negative situations or people. It turns out – it is not a requirement you have to suffer through. You have to put in the effort, and with enough time, you can become the most social person you know! I would recommend this audiobook if you want to help yourself become a better, more social you!
