This six cd set is a real bargain at the Amazon price, it sells for three times as much elsewhere. It is a programme that must be listened to many times to get the maximum benefit, but is well worth it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, which is really everyone on planet Earth. It is a must have programme.

This review is from: The 5 Essential People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts (Audio CD)

I know a lot of self help materials basically talk about common sense that we already know. But at least most of them serve as a reminder and a lot of good ones lead you into further examining it and once in a while you come up with an "Ah Ha". However, this book seems to limit itself to certain situations. It doesn't give enough examples and the "skills" it mentioned sometimes just don't make sense.
