This book has very good skills and strategies that can be learned to become a better communicator.  Improving these skills is so important in today's "Me" society.The author emphasizes the importance of being a good listener.  When we think of communication, it usually has to do with speaking.  However listening is probably even more important.Personally when I can tell someone is really listening, I'm impressed. Plus I usually want to get to know that person better or in other cases, am more apt to listen to his or her's offer.Chapter 2 in the book is important in a business or group sense.  It's about leadership communication.  The author talks about confidence and conviction in your delivery and then confirming that the other or others really understand.Chapter 3 for me is very important.  It's about communication within the family.  The importance of listening again.  Being mindful of your tone of speech.  Be thoughtful of how you are really speaking and coming across to your loved ones.The book has steps and plans to help you improve and work on your communication skills.  This book will help you communicate effectively.
