Customer Reviews

Communication is power and Dr. Van Fleet effectively proves that:

Well, I own a hardcover version of the Lifetime Conversation Guide, and his advice is a good investment. It has certainly helped me improve my conversational and relatiional skills with people. And though I do not actively read it much anymore, the ideas have stayed with me. Communication, good communication is the ultimate self-investment. And Dr. Van Fleet knows that. And that is what I like about his book. Captain Josh.

Guide to courtesy as well as conversation

An impeccable summary of ideas that everyone already knows about conversation and courtesy to others catalogued subject by subject. Everything in the book is useful on one level or another and explained in a simple approachable fashion. James Van Fleet is clearly an expert at interpersonal relations and explains all of his ideas with concrete examples and a motivational tone.In addition to learning about how to show others the basic respect of being a good listener and not a self-centered listener, anyone who reads this book will immediately be able to recognize bad managers, bad listeners, self involved attention mongers, as well as genuinely generous people.Read this book at your library and then add it to your home collection. I know that I am going to add it to mine.
