Fire Up Your Communication Skills: Get People to Listen, Understand, and Give You What You Want!

by Captain Bob

This is a great bathroom book. You go in constipated and come out motivated. Perfect for today's busy reader. There's even a condensed version within the book for "Emergency Situations". You don't have to start this book from the beginning. Just pick a chapter of interest and go for it. I wrote this book to fire people up to communicate better, lower stress levels, and add value and enjoyment to personal lives. The book contains proven simple tools to uncomplicate lives. People will try simple. They don't like difficult, psychobabble or books they feel they are going for college credit. They want something they can start using today! Each of the fifty-two short burst chapters explains a Nugget (skill) of life that can improve communication and relationships. They describe remarkable, practical, humorous, and common experiences to inspire change. This book will be referred to again and again to answer your questions about stress, communication and relationships.

This book was mistitled my opinion. It does in fact address communication skills, but the primary examples are from one’s personal life, from marriage, from dating and relationships with people close to you. There are, toward the end of the book, more business related segments, but I think the strength of this book is giving very practical, very clear, very easy to read advice about how to make the communication with loved ones work better. The author provides very good information on the different communication styles and the different priorities of men and women within a relationship. I finished this book in just over a day and had immediately usable tips and tools. I also enjoyed the author’s sense of humor woven throughout the narrative. I highly recommend this book.
