Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently Decide Now


John C. Maxwell's book titled "Everyone communicates few connect" is not what you would expect from Maxwell. His other leadership books hit the mark and are worth the read. This attempt at the communication field is not what you might think it is by the title of the book. Maxwell tries to take on communication and blend it with his leadership style message and in doing so the book ends up not really speaking to the communication idea at all. As someone who has studied communication for years I was expecting a book about the aspects of communication and how to look at and alter my communication so others might "connect" better. It is an average book that really speaks little to communication as a whole. I was disappointed and really think that Maxwell could have hit a home run with the book based on the title. It does go to show that you should not judge a book by the cover. I will say that I have always enjoyed other of Maxwell's books and think that he is a fine author. This is just not the book that I expected based on what the cover notes and the title suggested. It is still an average read just don't expect to get a lot of communication application from the book.Get more detail about Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently.
