Read by a robot
If you enjoy monotone to the point of no actual absorption ever occurring this is the audiobook for you. If you don’t give it a hard pass

Nothing groundbreaking
I was hoping this book would reveal some neat communication tricks, but all it says is to basically listen to the other person and don't be mean in your delivery, which is pretty obvious. You gotta pretty dense to benefit from this book. At just over 2 hours, this is absolutely not worth it. It's also filled with useless cruft (all the acknowledgements, continuous advertising of downloading the companion life challenge). Don't waste your money and time.

Author self-glorifies, then the book ends
I kept waiting for the book to really start and then it was over... The author talked about how great he was and that was it...

Maybe the Kindle version is better.
The narration is horrible. I drive a lot for work and I listen to a lot of audible books and this voice was so annoying. the reader reads like he's talking to a child or a bad infomercial
The first 5 minutes of the book is just the author praising himself and his book. Very frustrating I'm getting a refund.

Weak
It’s a nice concept and a nice skill to have, but this book gives me the feeling that it’s just a guy that one day thought “you know, I’m pretty decent at my job so I’m qualified to write a book... and people will buy it because they’re really searching for help in this area.” The book just doesn’t seem to make any earth shattering revelations or give real concrete advice. It’s all pretty predictable and logical, which is fine on its own merit, but that’s not why people buy a book like this.

Communication for real neophytes read by an robot
I'm sorry to say that this book was a real disappointment. It has some good but VERY basic advice regarding listening to others. Think of it as How to Win Friends and Influence People but without the folksy anecdotes and simplified to almost a level that you would need to explain the concepts to a six-year-old. Or perhaps just someone who has a six-year-old level of communication skills? I've read a few books about communications and they at least all have some nugget of value that the other books don't. A unique perspective or particular tip that I can add to my toolchest. But this one is so basic that it really doesn't offer anything unless you literally have never read anything about communication before and have a very low level of communication skills. I guess for those people it might be an ok primer, except that is for the narration.
The narration was one of the words I've ever listened to. I am usually not that picky, but the guy reading the book had less human touches than Siri, Alexa, or Google Home! I swear this guy sounded like an automated computer voice in terms of the way he intoned sentences. It helped slightly to speed up to 1.25x, since his normal speech is incredibly slow, but even at 1.25x, I found it very hard to pay any attention because it felt like he was reading something without actually paying much attention to the words, reading it all with a single tone of voice, with an occasional rise or fall, but it seemed he was putting much more attention on anunciating e-ver-y syll-a-ble ex-act-ly to the point that it became mind-numbing.
If you feel like you need a very basic primer of communications, either get another book or at least don't get this on audio, because it's next to excruciating to listen to!

Effective
This was a very simple read. It is complex in the way that it makes you realize what needs to be fixed in terms of your own communication. It helped me open my eyes to what I needed to focus on to produce real results. I recommend this book. The end of the book provides you with a 12-day challenge. I highly advise that you complete it to put your new knowledge to use to help retain it.
