Book Reviews of 101 Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Instantly, third printing, revised
Book Review: Is this a book or a PowerPoint presentation?
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
