1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy the audiobook... It is absulutely the worst.
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unhelpful, December 3, 2000
By 
yuryd (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
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 No help, June 29, 2000
By A Customer
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this a book or a PowerPoint presentation?, February 27, 2009
By 
Peter McCluskey (San Bruno, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is closer to a set of PowerPoint slides than it is to a real book. Most of what it says is reasonable, but it doesn't say enough to be worth buying.

One piece of advice they give is to use anecdotes and stories, but they don't come close to following that advice. It's rare for them to put more than two sentences together into something paragraph-like.

I'm not sure who this book is aimed at, but their advice to "avoid questions that pry into personal matters" implies their goals have little to do with what I wanted advice about (creating close personal friendships).

The one good aspect of the book is that it won't take much of your time - if you spend more than an hour reading it, you're doing something wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a hardback book, January 18, 2007
The reviewers who commented negatively may have confused this item with another. This is NOT a BOOK. It is a recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beneficial for almost everyone!, November 15, 1998
By A Customer
Are you a member of the human race who is having interaction with at least one other member of the human race? Then this spiffy little handbook is for you and can only enhance your life processes. (Solitary cave dwellers in remote regions needn't bother.) Highly recommended!
