Helpful Source
This book is a great source for beginners just starting their journey to work on how they communicate. A lot of information is given for developing better communication, showing the book is well researched. There are interesting scenarios and examples that appear to breakup all the information as well, helping to drive home certain points.This book is useful for both personal or professional interactions. I really enjoyed the step-by-step approach, which helped in making the book easy to understand. I also liked the inclusion of different cultures and their own ways of communication; it was great to learn about more than just my own culture.I was glad to see the book also talks in length about the importance of body language, like eye contact and showing interest/attention to the other person. The section is broken down into more specific parts of the body, some of which I never thought of before, and was glad to learn about.Personally, I think Chapter 3: Don’t Just Hear People is the most important chapter. So often it seems like people are so focused on how they want to respond that they don’t hear what I’m saying, and I’m sure I’ve done the same. Sometimes you don’t need to have an answer ready, sometimes you just have to stay quiet and listen.This would be a great read for parents, or other adults that work with children/teens. You could re-read this and still learn something new! If you’re looking to improve your communication skills, give this book a chance, you won’t be disappointed!

A Great Roadmap to Becoming a Better Communicator
The Effective Communication Method is indeed a how to become a better communicator. What stood out to me personally was the importance of observing body language both of myself and the one I'm speaking with. Brian Basterfield provides a lot of detail on what different body language signals mean. Also the art of becoming a better listening, to really listen and not just hear. I saw in that section where my personal flaws are and how to improve myself. Mr. Basterfield has an in depth and well rounded knowledge of communication whether it's verbal, written or non-verbal. This is a great read and if you want to become more self aware of how you come across in your communication as well as how to identify weaknesses and work on those flaws then this book is for you.

Switch your awareness on
The parts about body language and switching on your awareness (and your ears!) so that you don’t just hear people and move on, but you can build a genuine connection instead.There’s also a bonus download included which is a great add on to an over all good book.

Banalität
Das Buch eignet sich für Neueinsteiger in der Thematik. Das wären dann wohl Kleinkinder, denn der Rest des Buches ist an Banalität nicht zu übertreffen. Sehr schade. Mehr Praxisnähe wäre gut.
