Improve your relationship. This book will help!

You can’t have a good relationship without effective communication. No matter what your current communication skill level is , this book will help you improve that all important skill and thus allow you to live a more productive rewarding life.
I loved the book. It was factual & action packed. It covered all areas of communication in various setting. Be it personal, social, informal or business, one on one or multitudes, it was covered. It also dealt with the 3 forms of communication, written, verbal and non-verbal.
What was eye opening was the depth and comprehensiveness of the information. It covered topics that I was not expecting, yet very important if you are to master this art. For example chapter 1 outlines 5 different outlooks on life that affect your overall communication style and messaging. If you have a subjective naturalistic outlook on life verses a pessimistic naturalistic outlook, that overall viewpoint will impact and color that person’s communication on all levels. Each chapter was full of ideas , best practices and tips. It was not about being a good sounding orator or providing exercises to change your voice tone, but rather providing the in depth knowledge of how, why and what it takes to become an effective communicator. That means being both an effective sender and recipient of a message while also providing or obtaining the necessary feedback to ensure the message was correctly received.
The importance of becoming an active listener was covered early while the art of obtaining and delivering effective feedback as covered in chapter 8. The feedback process is critical if we are to stop misunderstanding one another. The chapter of reading and interpreting non-verbal body language and its often misalignment with verbal communication was very insightful.
This book is an encyclopedia of information and I felt complied to get the paperback edition to serve as an ongoing reference tool for continued study. If you are serious about improving your relationships. this book should be studied not just read or listened to.
I was pleased that the audio edition also came with a download PDF bonus on 14 step to mastering your emotions. Emotions and communications are intertwined and that PDF was helpful if I am to improve my communication skills.
This book delivered on its title of being a comprehensive guidebook to communication. I highly recommend it.

The effective communication Method

This audiobook explores the key elements of efficient communication as well as the ways in which those components impact human interactions. It dives into the interaction of numerous aspects that influence our communication styles, assisting readers in understanding their own perspective on life and how it impacts their speech through this investigation.
An aspect that I particularly like is how much of an emphasis there is placed on compassion. The importance of having empathy in order to cultivate understanding and cultivate healthy relationships is emphasized throughout the book. In addition to this, it provides the reader with useful insights into written communication, which in turn provides them with the abilities necessary to generate effective written material.
