2. Great Book Related to Learning New Skills
One Small Step Can Change Your Life, by Robert Maurer, Ph.D.
One reader wrote about this 5-star book:
"Dr. Maurer gently guides you through a whole new way of perceiving your life, and towards the path to making those improvements you've been putting off indefinitely. The key? Baby steps. Sounds so simple, and it is. But you'll want to read Dr. Maurer's explanation for WHY this works, and HOW you can make it work for you."
This simple method applies perfectly to developing your conversation skills. As I suggest in today's article , "There are no quick fixes."No.Only steady improvement, one step at a time.
