Based on the New Harbinger classic, Messages, this book will teach you the necessary skills -- such as assertiveness, active listening, and compassion -- to become an effective communicator for life. In an age of social media, texting, and ever-evolving technology, it's easy to forget how to engage in real, face-to-face communication, a critical skill for your future success! As you become more connected to your smartphone and the Internet, your ability to connect in person may diminish. But technology doesn't replace the need for effective communication skills. In fact, successful personal and professional relationships are dependent upon connecting with people face-to-face." -- Amazon.com ER -
