Customer Reviews

A valuable skill-building resource

I've been using this method with my wife and my patients for over ten years. It is an excellent tool for improving communication, and thereby, conflict resolution, emotional intimacy, and a host of other issues that couples face in the day to day business of living together for the long term. I highly recommend it.

A MUST for couples!

After centuries of research, Dr Miller has finally cracked the code that enables couples to enhance their relationship with the most natural tool: communication!

Start by listening...

This is not just another how to book, it is a valid process of learning listening skills. Communication begins with listening. This book could begin with the last chapter as an introduction to the listening skills laid out in the other chapters. Do this book as a couple. Learn by practicing the skills that are presented here. You will not regret the personal growth found in practicing these skills nor will you regret the investment in this workbook. An excellent book, an excellent process.

Provides a superior format for learning communication skills

This book gives a theoretical and visual framework for learning talking, listening, and conflict resolution skills. The concepts have been widely researched and the format is one of the most effective that I have found. The book contains exercises to help the reader apply the material. The section on communication styles makes it easy to identify negative patterns and gives alternatives for the reader to use. The book is widely used in communication skill training for couples and the concepts apply to coworkers as well!
