This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly, third printing, revised (Paperback)

I bought this book, hoping to learn something new about communication skills, what I found was a list of common sense every day advises, which I'm sure everyone is familiar with, this book did not help me at all, it would probably help someone who came out of jungle, for this book is as basic as they come.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy the audiobook... It is absulutely the worst., February 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly (Audio Cassette)

Terrible recording. So annoying, I wanted to trash it right away. You absulately do not understand anything. I want to add 102nd way for good communication: have a quality recording! Trust me on this. I do not know the book, but do not waste your money for the audiobook.

This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly (Paperback)

When I purchased this book, I was expecting to find new ways to improve my communications instantly. What I got from this book was a list of common sense items. Only about 10 % of this book helped. I expected more.
