The book "The Art of Connecting Spiritually" is a good introduction to understanding how to communicate better.  The author, Robert Jirda, gives basic explanations about how our own energy affects others as much as the words we actually speak.  He provides a good mix of science and alternative modalities to help the reader understand how and why effective communication techniques are different for everyone, and why some of the most common miscommunications occur.  I especially appreciated the author's explanation on how communicating through a lens of fear can impact our intended message and so much more.While mostly good, the book only starts to touch spirituality so the title was a bit off from the actual content.  However, I did find quality information in it that would benefit anyone looking for a solid introduction to becoming a better communicator.  Especially in today's age of impersonal, electronic communication, Jirda's insight into how many variables interfere or enhance our communication is something most people can benefit from.  I recommend this book.
