Improve Your People Skills
I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I think we all need this book. I was able to see a lot of ways that I, even now, push people away with how I act and communicate. I don't intend to be mean or toxic or inconsiderate, but that's often how I come across. I'll have to go back through and listen to specific parts that apply more to me, but even just listening through once, I was able to take away immediately applicable information. Thank you!

Not overly bad
This has helpful tips. I had a bit of trouble not nodding off. The narrator had a kind of Monotone voice. soothing but not engaging.
