Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Michael Cooper · 2021
50/100
👎 Skip It
Cooper covers communication across work, family, and relationships, which is a nice practical spread, and there's a dedicated audiobook edition if that's your format. But with conflicting publication dates floating around and no independent reviews to lean on, I can't tell you much about how well it actually delivers.
