How Conversational Style Makes or Breaks Your Relations with Others
Incredible! Eye-opener. NOW I GET IT!
If you were to tell me a tiny yellowed 20-year-old plus paperback that looks like it came from a B-rated garage sale would impact me in a hugely profound way, I would have laughed and not believed it at all. Then I might have humored you and bought it for a nickel and thrown it away when I got home.
Well I sure learned the lesson of the ages: Never judge a book by its cover!

Emotional Intelligence 2.0

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 should be mandatory reading in every office!,
The book gives specifics on how to recognize and manage your emotions. Emotions are not viewed as good or bad. They serve a purpose and this book helps you raise your emotional intelligence so as to reach your full potential in life. Unlike IQ, EQ (emotional intelligence) can be increased. I found it interesting that high IQ people can be unsuccessful in life because they have low EQ's. It's hard to put this book down - insight after insight!

The Four Conversations: Daily Communication That Gets Results

Should be required reading for managers!
As a manager I have read several different books to assist with communication. They are often filled with complex charts and theories and are problematic in both theory and execution. The Four Conversations is not one of those books! This is probably the single most effective communication tool I have used.
