In this book, John C. Maxwell focuses on the importance of connecting with others & how to connect with others. Everyday we communicate, even when we aren’t doing anything at all. This book gives numerous connection tools that are easy to use in everyday life as well as in groups or to an audience. Its’s not hard stuff either, it’s simple,very intentional things that make a connection and lets others know they are important to you. Every chapter had me thinking of how I could apply what I was reading to my everyday life. Whether they are family, friends, coworkers, or volunteers I want to connect with them because they are important to me. Before reading this book, I was unsure how to how bridge the gap between talking to people and connecting with them. It seemed as if almost every page had so much great & practical information that I kept thinking I needed to mark the page I was on so that I could refer back to it. Connection is not difficult, it takes energy and has to be intentional.
I recommend this book to everyone. Yep, everyone. I think everyone cann take something great away from this book and use it all different types of relationships both new and old.
