Everyone Communicates, Few Connect - by John C. Maxwell

I’ve read many of John Maxwell’s books, and once again, he has been a great help to me in both my personal and professional life through his book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect.

I received this book free of charge from the BookSneeze program by Thomas Nelson Publishers, and asked to post a review. I’m so glad that I chose to review this book, as it was very helpful.

Maxwell makes a very good point that we all communicate, but very few of us know how to truly connect with others. Then he goes on to teach the art of connecting, not only one-on-one, but with groups, and with audiences.

The material is well written, compelling, yet stays simple and down to earth. Because he took the time to get feedback from his audience before the final edit and publishing of this book, it ended up being chock-full of very relatable personal experiences that help to reinforce the points he brings out.

Though he is one of the top experts in this field, Maxwell writes with a humility and simplicity that convinces the reader that change is possible.

I would highly recommend this book to just about anyone – not just pastors or leaders. All of us need to learn to connect with others if we truly want to be successful, and this book will get you started on the right road.
