The Communication Book dibagi menjadi 5 bagian: Job and Career, Self and Knowledge, Love and Friendship, Words and Meaning, dan Conclusion. Masing-masing bagian berisi ide-ide yang memang bisa diterapkan dalam komunikasi bidang itu. Seperti yang menjadi sub-judul, buku ini berisi 44 ide, atau lebih jelasnya adalah 44 teori komunikasi yang bisa dimengerti dengan mudah oleh orang awam (orang yang secara akademik tidak mempelajari Ilmu Komunikasi). Setiap ide dijelaskan dalam 1 bentuk diagram dan 2 halaman penjelasan yang langsung on point. Ada yang berupa poin-poin, ada yang berupa paragraf yang dilengkapi dengan contoh di dalam keseharian kita.

Struggle to find the words in meetings? Know what you mean but not how to say it? From Aristotle's thoughts on presenting to the Harvard Negotiation Project, internationally bestselling duo Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler have 44 tried and tested ideas to change that. I was about a week away from starting up an office job for the first time in nearly a year, and figured I could use a refresher on communicating with people who aren’t my partner or friends. The fact that I don’t recall much of what I read, and that my focus is on organization and formatting should be a hint as to why I’m not a big fan of this book. I appreciate the concept and even some of the content, but the execution just didn’t work for me. Instead of "I’m sorry that your feelings were hurt", say: "I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings". Admit full responsibility for what you did. Communication is a bit like love - it's what makes the world go round, but nobody really knows how it works.'Alih-alih aku mendapatkan insight dari buku ini untuk pengembangan karirku, aku malah paling suka dengan bagian Words and Meaning. Aku memang sempat belajar sedikit tentang berapa teori dalam Ilmu Komunikasi. Membaca bagian itu di buku ini semacam pengingat dalam bentuk yang lebih singkat dan visual (karena dibantu dengan diagram). Buku ini berkali-kali menarik perhatian sejak aku bekerja di kantor konsultan bisnis. Rasa-rasanya, memahami seni berkomunikasi akan membawa keuntungan tertentu jika sedang bernegosiasi dengan klien. Sayangnya, aku malah baru sempat membaca ketika sudah berganti profesi. Namun, jika dipikir-pikir, tidak ada ruginya untuk mempertajam kemampuan komunikasi. Suatu saat, pasti akan berguna, juga.

Distilled into a single volume, their winning marriage of practicality and humour turns seemingly difficult ideas into clear and entertaining diagrams that will help you: Whether you're a CEO, just starting out or want to improve your relationships at home, this guide will improve your communication skills and help you form more meaningful connections. Read more Details The Communication Book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their communication skills and have more productive, meaningful conversations and this book provides 44 concrete ideas for having better conversations, each presented in a brief, easy-to-read format. Buku ini rasanya cocok bagi teman-teman yang sudah berpikiran untuk mulai mengembangkan karir melalui peningkatan kemampuan diri. Singkat, namun bisa dijadikan alat bantu. Referensi atau bibliografi yang ada di akhir buku juga bisa ditelusur jika masih penasaran dengan kelengkapan teorinya.I’m not sure what this book is. It’s not a book that you read cover to cover (well, I did, but I didn’t need to). It is more of a reference book. And while the ideas the authors explore are loosely collected into communication realms (Job and Career, Self and Knowledge, Love and Friendship, Words and Meanings), I didn’t notice much of a difference between certain ideas that warranted them being siloed into such categories. But I appreciate the attempt at good organization.
