Book Review: Everyone Communicates Few Connect by John C. Maxwell
I'm starting a new project of reviewing books for Thomas Nelson Publishers and posting my reviews on this blog and on a consumer site. (You might have noticed the "Book Sneeze" ad in my sidebar). So here I go with my first review:
In John C. Maxwell's latest book "Everyone Communicates Few Connect" you see why he is a longtime author---he is great at it! This book focuses on how to not merely just talk to others but to really connect with them and make a difference. It outlines in bullets and story form examples of traits of a good communicator. While the book breaks down "connecting" into three areas of one-on-one, in a group and with an audience, it mainly focuses on public speaking. If you're looking to connect to an audience then this is the book for you. If you want to connect one-on-one then I'd look elsewhere as there's limited information/examples of that. While the writing, stories and quotes from others are good, another reviewer on here is right at saying the prose comes across as a little too polished at times.
All in all, if you want to know how to speak to groups or break down what helps you relate well to others then this book is a good choice.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
