The reality is that communication skills are developed with deliberate effort and practice, and learning to understand others and communicate your ideas more clearly will improve every facet of your life. Messages has already helped thousands of people build communication skills and cultivate better relationships with friends, family members, coworkers, and partners. With this fully revised and updated fourth edition, you’ll discover new skills to help you communicate your ideas more effectively and become a better listener. Learn how to: Read body language Develop skills for couples communication Negotiate and resolve conflicts Communicate with family members Handle group interactions Talk to children Master public speaking Prepare for job interviews This new edition features a much-needed chapter on digital communication. Effective communication can easily be compromised when you’re not able to read your conversation partner’s body language, facial expression, or vocal tone. This chapter teaches you how to express yourself well via phone, email, texting, and video—all the skills you need to thrive in the digital age. Review: Even better than 30 years ago! - Many years ago I read this book from beginning to end. It has given me a host off useful awareness and tools which I have not only used throughout the years but also shared with friends and clients. When I lent my old dog-eared copy to a friend he was apparently so enthusiastic about it that he ordered the latest, updated copy. I, in turn saw all the new stuff and ordered my own updated copy. It does not disappoint. On the contrary, it is even better than before. No wonder, because the authors, like me, have aged and with age comes wisdom and insight( if all goes well). That is actually one of the good things about aging ;-) I have revisited the chapters on Listening, Self Disclosure, Fair Fighting and Negotiating. I find the approaches and examples described still very helpful in my day-to-day life. I realize I am far from perfect in my own communications with others. I highly recommend this book for all who want to communicate consciously and effectively with colleagues, clients, family, friends and lovers. Messages: The Communication Skills Book Review: LIfe changer - I didn't just read this book, I took the time to really listen to it. Unlike many other "self-help" books, this one is actually interactive. I read the first or second edition 5 years ago and still pick up a copy from time to time to give it away as gifts. If you follow the exercises and are wiling to challenge yourself to what seems like really easy to grasp ideas, then you're in for a treat. My favorite section was short, but provided me with enough information to understand body language like I've never done before. In fact, I even used this book to create my own exercises for influencing co-workers...and even to pick up women! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #142,754 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #62 in Communication Reference (Books) #480 in Communication & Social Skills (Books) #505 in Interpersonal Relations (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 432 Reviews | ## Images ![Messages: The Communication Skills Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oi7Gev9oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even better than 30 years ago! *by Y***T on August 20, 2012* Many years ago I read this book from beginning to end.

The order came on time or as promised. The is a 4th ed. for a few dollars more. I’ve been reading this text since the 2nd. Ed. It’s truly helpful. ## Frequently Bought Together - Messages - THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY (REVISED) - Groups: Process and Practice (Mindtap Course List) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/78780558-messages-the-communication-skills-book](https://www.desertcart.be/products/78780558-messages-the-communication-skills-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
