The Interpersonal Communication Book

Even if your not in school, this is a great book to hone your communication skills. Easy to understand and helpfull excersizes.

I liked the price of the item, since it was way cheaper than buying it from the school bookstore. The shipping was also very fast. I ordered it a week before school and got it a couple days before school started and was able to look over material for the course.

I recently purchased this book for a class and was very impressed after only reading chapter 1. It is a very complete book and has a lot of extra information if you want to further study a topic. It has examples that are modern and from everyday life and helps students (like me) to better understand the importance of communication. I also liked the format and the inside is very colorful which does not make reading dull. I highly recommend this product.

This book is not really orientated at making you a better interpersonal and intercultural communicator (although it could be a start towards this), it is more of a book on interpersonal and intercultural theory. This book was the basis of my Interpersonal and Intercultural Communication Studies course at UQ in Australia. It is very simple to read, a high school student could easily understand this. I think this is a good thing, however, because as some of my lecutures demonstrated, interpersonal communication theory can be very dry and dull at some points! So I am giving this book five stars because althoug simplistic, I believe it tells you the basics of interpersonal comunication theory, and is a great starting book if you are interested in this!

I highly recommend DiVito's book...this is my fourthyear using it in in my Cont. Ed. Interpersonal Communication class, EMERSON COLLEGE, Boston, Massachusetts. My evening classes are highly interactive and STUDENT CENTERED - I can always count of this book to keep the conversation going !
