Communication Skills For Dummies, UK Edition UK Edition

Books for dummies. My dummy still hasn’t read it though.

It's actually kind of funny because of course the ex reponded toxically about the gift, sneering, saying I should read it first.I responded, "no problem, give the book to me to read after you complete it," as I would have been perfectly happy to discuss it's contents with her. Her mother instead started reading it and the last I saw it, she was halfway through the book and the mother's marriage appeared to be improving because her husband started spending more money on her😂

Great book and it has some very good points, but I feel like it's all over the place when you're reading it. It's hard to keep track of all the things you're learning because of how much it jumps around, but at the end of the day it's still a great buy.

Good

This book I found reader-friendly, practical and full of ideas that had hardly occurred to me. For instance, the author explained - even stressed by repetition - that great communicators are great listeners, good and first understanding other people. This was mind-blowing to me, as I had felt the need to make myself understood. I felt compelled to see this whole topic from a different perspective. I am thankful for this journey!

It's useful enough to know the basics of effective communication in oral situations, as well as written (traditional and virtual media, including social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn). I use it for my Effective Communication class as a guideline to create exercises for my students in a bachelor level, from different academic programmes such as engineering, administrative, medicine, etc... and it has worked out for most of them.

I chose this book because the format was perfect for my husband. Not only was he enthused to receive it, but he actively wanted to read it. He likes the manual-style format of this book, so much in fact that he is looking at the entire line of For Dummies titles.

the book is excellent.
