"Communication impacts all of us in this world in very powerful ways, each and every day", writes speaker, legal practitioner, and conflict resolution consultant, Michael Rooni, in his idea filled and very practical book Attractive Communication: 300 Ways to Make Communication More Attractive. The author describes how important it is for people to create attractiveness for themselves through improved communication skills, and provides the toolbox of skills needed to enrich your attractive communication ability.

Michael Rooni understands that there is much more to attractiveness than wealth, social status, or physical appearance. The author presents the idea that the real key to attractiveness is through an ability to communicate effectively with others. People who possess attractive communication skills create deep and lasting personal and professional relationships, that result in cooperative and collaborative resolutions. The ability to communicate attractively creates and enhances personal happiness. Michael Rooni points out that the good news is that the skills of attractive communication can be learned by anyone. The author shares three hundred attractive communications tools and techniques that relate to five different aspects of a person's life.

Michale Rooni recognizes that superior communication skills are essential for increasing attractiveness in both one's personal and professional lives. As a result, the author provides appropriate tools and techniques for learning and utilizing attractive communication in every part of your life. For the author, the fastest and most effective way to become more attractive is through improved communication skills.

The author divides the techniques of attractive communication into five overarching categories. Those five sections are as follows:

* Interpersonal communication: Communication between people
* Non-verbal communication: How we communicate beyond the spoken word
* Communication timing and surroundings: Choosing the right time and place
* Listening, persuasion, and dispute resolution: Participatory listening
* Intrapersonal communication: Improving your own inner self talk

For me, the power of the book is how Michael Rooni provides an effective framework and outline for learning the practical tools and techniques of attractive communication. The book is divided well into five overall categories covering different types of communication. Each section is further divided into chapters that contain actionable and ready to apply concepts for immediate improvement in communication ability.

The author provides appropriate tools for both personal and professional communication, as well as techniques for dispute resolution. Each of the principles is easy to learn, and the book can be kept handy for future reference should the need arise for an effective communication tool.

I highly recommend the actionable and engaging book Attractive Communication: 300 Ways to Make Communication More Attractive by Michael Rooni, to anyone seeking a practical and ready to apply toolbox of skills for improving your communication attractiveness. The techniques in the book are easily learned by anyone, transforming you into an attractive communicator.
