Everyone Communicates Few Connect

By: John Maxwell

Which President have you connected with, regardless of political preferences? Which teacher have you gotten up early on class registration day to make sure you would get into his/her classes before they filled up? How about speakers, tour guides, or even (yikes) salespeople? Which ones have connected with you in such a way that you listened to intently and would want to hear again? This is what this book is all about. Connecting with people and being that person that people want to connect with!!

Does it come naturally? No. Can anyone do it? Yes. Will it take work? Yes. But if you have trouble connecting with people, or would like to know how you can improve this area of your life, this is the book to read. There are many practical helps that anyone can learn from. It was also encouraging to learn what tools helped the author. At the end of each chapter are additional helps.

Maxwell gives many examples from his own experiences in learning how to connect with people and as well as experiences from other people. It is a very encouraging book and I highly recommend it for anyone.
