People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts
$14.99
I'm only about 1/3 into the book. I'm reading it slowly on purpose as it allows me to work on a couple of new skills at a time. I know I have improved my listening skills in a significant way. It's well written and very practical.

a life-changing book. A very good and complete introduction to a compassionate way of communicating and relating not only to other people but also to ourselves so that we can allow the best in us to shine while we constructively work on our unresolved needs.

The Art and Science of Communication: Tools for Effective Communication in the Workplace
$22.95
P.S. Perkins' book The Art and Science of Communication: Tools for Effective Communication in the Workplace is a quick read for employers and employees to improve their communication skills. Perkins addresses and separates the seven fundamental components of efficient communication in each chapter of the book. The reader can than find or identify which component they wish to improve upon without having to read the whole book; example chapters include Interpersonal, Intercultural, Small group, and Public communication. I would recommend this book for all levels of communication theory because it covers the basics while providing workshop ideas that are can be easily created as part of the work day. The books broad context can incorporate any professional environment and helpful Q&A sections bring the material down to a personal level that is easily digested by readers. Perkins' ability to organize and simplify the content makes The Art and Science of Communication... a standard text in any workplace.
