Great!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 28, 2021

Wow, recommended to anyone who wishes to improve their communication skills. I love that there is a review after each chapter about communication one on one, as a group and to an audience

The message is good, the format is distracting

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 27, 2021

The font size is changing frequently which I find visually distracting since it changes my focus and makes it harder to me to connect with the message which is what the book is supposed to be about. Good content but I’m not enjoying the read.

I'm a fan of John Maxwell books, but this one does not have a lot to offer.

Just okay.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 7, 2014

This book wasn't quite what I was expecting. A better title might have been--How to be a good public speaker--Some of the tips were insightful but many were just what you normally hear--smile, be confident, connect with your listener, express appreciation, use humour, prepare well, etc. Perhaps this book would be best for a young adult.

If you are buying ONE book on the subject.

It’s another doctor feel good work. How many books has he written on essentially the same subject?

If you only read ONE of his books it is as good as another. I have purchased several and this is my last unless he writes a mystery novel.

I suspect it will be good. He is an excellent writer but has worn this material down to the bottom.

How many times can you say the same thing with a slight twist?

I guess the answer is, “As long as someone will spend more money on it.”

I can’t fault anyone for being able to make a buck I wish I had done it first.

The book is well written. On topic (again) and worthy of being the only book from this author on your library shelf. Then go read what others have to contribute to your life.

I can’t give it a single star and I can’t give it a five star either. So I settled on. three stars as a compromise of sorts. Wish I could do better but can’t.

Lo Siento Carlos

Lo siento, Carlos. Está trabajando para su familia. No es su responsabilidad hablar con los clientes que no hablan español y que no conocen su cultura de los hechos privados de su vida. Fue doloroso leer este libro. My apologies also to the helpful people in other countries who try to provide information to Mr. Maxwell in HIS language in THEIR country because HE does not speak the language of the host country. Perhaps your translations are not perfect but the arrogance and insensitivity of making fun of your translations, which are an effort to help, is inexcusable. In addition to the arrogance and the insensitivity of the author, I found the book to be cluttered and disorganized. Where are the “five practices?” They are not numbered. When I did hunt them down, all I found were platitudes. “Connectors create an experience everyone enjoys.” This is not a practice. A practice involves doing something. This is simply an idea, and not an original one. I can not recommend this book. The lack of respect and outright rudeness toward other cultures is unacceptable, and the presentation of the material is a mess.

Well this is terrible

While he offers some advice, he routinely breaks it. For example he suggests focusing on the other person to connect. But instead of focusing on creating value which he eschews for valuing your audience, he does neither.

Most of the book sofar is the most egoistic crap ive ever read. He is supposed to be talking about us, the audience, and the problems we have. But instead of offering advice he quotes irrellevant statistic and then rambles senily.

People who buy a book dont need to be sold on improving a skill. They need practical advice.

Practical advice is the opposite of incoherent and incoate rambling.

There is nothing wrong with a short but useful book. But you need to have value proportionate to the amount of other's time you waste. More basicly you need to provide some value

Every sentence with the word I should be cut

Failed to connect with me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

I don't want to be too negative on this book for everyone, however I feel it failed to deliver for me. Everyone Communicate Few Connect delivers on the principles of connecting minus the nuggets that you need to make results actionable. This is where the book fails in my opinion. Yours may vary. I can sum up the book in very short connecting requires Confidence, Energy and the right questions with strong focus on the other persons passions and desires. The books covers more then that and at a deeper level but with know game plan to incorporate into your life to enact change. Much better books on subject that are 5 stars are Charisma Myth by Olivia fox cabane is one of the better books on the subject that will no doubt leave you feeling really good and people wondering how you changed for the better

People skills are crucial for success and happiness

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2015

I am really interested in the subjects of communication and getting along with other humans, connecting with them, touching their hearts and souls, inspiring them to action and give to them and love them! I think that our connection with everyone else is crucial for our sense of wellbeing and happiness! I really like all of John's work and honestly think he is one of the best connectors, speakers! He has unique style and abillities that help him get to people and connect with them! Decent book worth reading!

Ideas in book promote good conversation

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I like many of the ideas shared in the book and the concepts can help move a group of people who communicate with each other to being able to really build stronger work relationships...and connect with each other. Useful information is shared. It was most useful when I focused on the concepts and how to apply the ideas to work I was doing.
