How to Communicate is a lucid introduction to human relationships. Although people talk to others, the basics of human communication are sometimes lost to a great number of people. They pay attention only to what was said and don’t notice the posture of the person or the timbre of their voice. Most communication is wrapped up in these little cues, and as I said, many fail to take notice.

The authors put together a number of situations that could arise in your day-to-day life. For instance, asking for a pay raise, getting a better deal for a used car, getting into fights with a significant other or child. All of these situations are covered in this book.

The book is slightly old, but the only way you can really tell is because they talk about ‘tape decks’ in cars. The advice is pretty timeless, so that doesn’t really add or subtract from the book, I merely thought it was interesting. ( )
