Writer's Digest Judge’s Commentary

It was hard for me to put this book down. I realize that phrase usually refers to exciting novels, but this work is compelling enough to deserve this praise.

Speaking of praise, I was surprised to find that praising others can block communication. But as the author explained, improper praise can hold people back. So false flattery and dishonest praise meant to make a person simply feel better doesn't help.

 

That is only one interesting aspect of the book. First along, the author helps the reader learn how to communicate effectively, and to run from danger (for example, a romantic partner who's too jealous, etc.) This might seem like common sense but it's good to see because who knows -- someone vulnerable to abuse just might find life-saving help.

 

Nice work. The cover is just okay, though the colors are nice. I appreciated the author's photo and bio on the back, and the copy made me want to read the book right away. I also enjoyed the personality analysis. This is an important book to refer to and simply to read any time.
