  • 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. ... show more

  • 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. ... show more

  • 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 ... show more

  • One of te best ever!!
Looking for a book to help you or others learn to connect? This is it. If you are missing something but don't know what it is 0 the answer is here. Being an Executive Director for the John Maxwell Team I can tell you this is one of my favorite books and a "must read" for anyone wishing to be successful with people and leadership.

  • Learning how to connect
I thought this book would not be what I wanted but I'm thankful I decided to give it a try. Some of the principles I knew I had, but I realize most I don't. I believe that life is all about relationship. I know I can't connect with every but I want to enjoy the ones I do have. This book has showed me a ton of areas I need to do better in. I know my relationship will benefit from this book. ... show more

  • Purchased to Improve Soft Skills at Work
I was very doubtful of this booking having any impact on me, but I still forced myself to read it anyway. Quite a bit of informative stuff in this book that really helps you think outside the box and realize how you need to improve yourself. Only knock I’d have against it is the amount of church subject matter intertwined in the book. Other than that, great subject to explore and learn how to improve. ... show more

  • Full of Practical Information
I regained a lot of practical information from this book. In addition, I actually enjoyed reading it! I have come across some who say the information is not "deep." However, I want to challenge everyone to consider what they want most; to be "deep" or to be effective. We cannot escape interacting with people. This book provides the tools and common sense approaches for doing that. I would recommend this book to everyone but especially to those who are new to the sales business. It is a "must have." ... show more

  • How about some well tested effective ways to connect with others?
I've read several of John C. Maxwell's books on leadership and some of them have been easier to read than others for me. This is a well written book with some great practical information that anyone can learn from. Who doesn't need to learn to communicate better? This book gives some great ways to connect with an audience as a speaker, with an individual or with small groups. We all communicate but connecting is something we all need to learn to do well so that our communication is more effective. This book is not filled with tricks but some well tested ways to genuinely connect with others. ... show more
