Review title: Is the dumbed down equivalent of '7 Habits'
Product review: The message nothing new. It boils down to being as "authentic" as possible (though the term is vaguely defined) and communicating with emotions rather than content. True but trite - any adult living in the 21st century has heard it countless times before. The author spends too much time rehashing obvious examples (Oprah, Steve Jobs) and offers little insight.I was also taken aback at his belief that in conversation each person is trying to sell something or himself. Perhaps he was trying to use a simplistic simile to get his message across, but even so, it would have been more effective to stress that true communication is based on listening, rather than forcing one's own opinions and viewpoints onto another person.I chucked it out after halfway through and got a well-deserved refund. Please save your money and time!Respectfully,~M
