21 Days of Effective Communication: Everyday Habits and Exercises to Improve Your Communication Skills and Social Intelligence (Effective ... Social Skills & Build Strong Relationships) Paperback – July 2, 2018

This book is exactly what I needed in order to learn and practice effective communication skills. It's like having a personal communication/social-skills coach. I like the fact that the book is organized as a 21-day practice, with each day being a different topic. In this concise, well-researched, easy-to-read, memorable book, Ian Tuhovsky has made me aware of the many ways I could communicate more effectively and has provided tools for making those changes through specific practices. This is one of the most valuable self-help books I have read!

This book provides several communication tips in an easy to read manner. Some are common sense, but a good reminder anyway.

The book had a lot of great tips and opened up my mind to new perspectives. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to improve the way they communicate.

I’ve read several of Ian Tuhovsky’s books and have enjoyed them all. Generally, the author takes complex self-improvement topics and distills them down for the average reader. I find myself highlighting his books profusely with practical nuggets of wisdom.21 Days of Effective Communication takes this up a level. He gives you 21 days-worth of communication tips and summarizes them for immediate use in your life. The information is presented in very digestible portions. You may do some of the tips already, but I’m betting there is plenty new that will make this book worth your investment.

I have always struggled with my communication, and this book has helped me understand the things I need to change immediately.It was also a path way for things you need to change and explore further.The writing style, and tone were very helpful and easy to follow.

The 21 habits outlined in this book are extremely relevant for effective communication. Following the exercises provided for each day can really help improve communication from a variety of angles. This book is a quick but informative read for anyone interested in how they can improve their communication personally, professionally, or both.

As a mom of four and a business owner, I don’t have a lot of extra time on my hands, and I wanted to keep working on my communication skills. This book was perfect for me! Each day I could read the next daily lesson and assignment, and look for opportunities to practice that assignment throughout the day. I knew at the end of day one it was going to be a good practice, and I wasn’t disappointed. I highly recommend this book!

The last chapter of the book, the 21st, if I’m not mistaken, recommends dropping clichés when speaking. I feel like telling the author that he could have put this chapter first in his book and in his writing, and taken inspiration from it for the rest, because to be honest, the advice given for better communication is just common sense—probably the same advice anyone would give if asked how to speak better, even someone who isn’t an expert. So you might as well ask your neighbor how to communicate better, and their answers would be just as relevant as those in this book. No notion of grabbing attention. No notion of storytelling. No notion of neuropsychology about the effect of certain words. No narrative devices available to improve communication, etc.
