Good points but just a handbook, February 28, 2010
This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly, 4th Edition (Paperback)
It is a nice summary but is more like a power point presentation with the list of key points.
Nevertheless I find it useful. It is more easy to remember the key points.

For the Discerning Communicator, December 28, 2006
This review is from: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly, 4th Edition (Paperback)
Noah Webster tells us "Communicate" means to impart; to give to another, to bestow, something the receiver holds, retains, and enjoys. And what person couldn't benefit from learning how to communicate with clarity?
If you have ever spoken to anyone in your life, used a telephone, write or send e-mails, you'll welcome the action steps you can learn instantly in: 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly by: Jo Condrill and Bennie Bough, Ph.D.
While there are many well written books on "communication" skills throughout your local Barnes & Nobel, few are able to please the discerning communicator. But, Jo Condrill and Bennie Bough has done just that.
This handbook is a breeze to implement. It will save us all from Foot-In-Mouth Dis-Ease. The authors ask: "Have you ever agonized over what you would've; should've and could've said?" I really appreciate when a book shows me what to do, instead of just tell.
The book has sold over 70,000 copies, translated into eleven languages by publishers in foreign countries, and is sold worldwide.
As a communicator you know the value in thinking and speaking clearly.
Communication at it's' best is a two-way transaction. I speak a thought, you listen. You speak, I listen.
But, sometimes people misinterpret what they hear, either because we were not crystal clear, or for other reasons. Listening requires practice, and this communication handbook also explains how to listen in order to improve communication.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.
