From AudioFile

This guide to creating optimal connections with others is an excellent follow-up to THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, which sounded magical in the hands of voice pro Hugh Gallagher. In this production of his latest book, the author's lifeless reading is clear and sincere enough to not get in the way of the lesson--a sparsely worded primer on neuro-linguistic programming. It's well-organized instruction, full of detailed information on the three conditions for connecting effectively, the four communication styles, and many other ideas for improving communication with others. Though some may see the techniques as mechanical or manipulative, the audio will help many become more sensitive to other people's signals and work a little harder to connect with them effectively. The production includes printable worksheets and questionnaires. T.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Reviewer: Annie Slessman

Michael J. Losier, author of LAW OF ATTRACTION, has written a follow-up to that work, LAW OF CONNECTION: The Science of Using NLP to Create Ideal Personal and Professional Relationships. In this new work, Losier uses four different communication styles and suggests a how-to in applying them to build or repair rapport (a connection) with others. Whether you need help in developing and repairing relationships in your personal or professional life, Losier provides a common-sense approach that will improve your relationship skills.

The four NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) styles are: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Digital. He even provides a self-assessment test to determine which style your own communication falls into. I seemed to be a combination of both Visual and Kinesthetic.

Losier states that it is a matter of knowing and recognizing what style the person you are communicating with uses and adapting your own style so you can better understand the other person. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Words, mannerisms and attitude all go into communicating with others. I remember when I volunteered for the Make-A-Wish Foundation who had the delightful job of talking with children to learn of their deepest desires, I would sit on the floor, sit with them on their beds, whatever. My goal was to get down to their level so they would open up and talk with me more honestly. It works with children and it works with adults. What Losier is saying here is that one has to understand where the other person is coming from before they can communicate effectively.

This is a good book with practical advice and methods that you can use in your everyday communication. It would be a good work to have in your library for future reference. We can never learn too much about communicating with others. Our own survival depends upon it.

This review is from: Law of Connection: The Science of Using NLP to Create Ideal Personal and Professional Relationships (Hardcover)

Unfortunately, there is nothing new in this book that hasn't already been outlined in much greater detail. I've known about the 4 personality types for almost 20 years. What I've known (and what is certainly true of myself) is that most people don't fall squarely into 1 personality type. I am straight down the middle between two types. Not to mention, trying to fit someone into a type without giving them the opportunity of testing for accuracy, can become a waste of time. I like the author, just not this book. I waited and waited for this book to come out, spent good money for it, and realized that there is nothing different, innovative or even interesting here. The book is full of nagging details and rules. Too much difficulty, and too much time required to get it all down. I want to spend time enjoying myself, and connecting to others in ways that are enjoyable. Not making it a tedious, technical and limiting process. Sorry, but this is my honest review.

This review is from: Law of Connection: The Science of Using NLP to Create Ideal Personal and Professional Relationships (Hardcover)

Truthfully, I found this book to be fairly weak. It would be one thing if the four communication styles were distinctively different from one other; but that is really not the case. In my opinion, most people are a blend of these styles; thus basing the foundation of this book on these styles didn't really add a lot of insight. Sorry. Perhaps the author would have been better using personality styles...at least those are more distinct from each other.
