My five star ratings are books I intend to return to. This was an easy, concise read that gets straight to the meat of what the title is all about. Many self-help / how-to books I've read end up ranting about how successful the author's been or talking about how cool their friends are. I especially love that this book is not filled with a bunch of fluff and ego - the author focuses on value for the reader and doesn't spend any time talking themselves up. A pragmatic read that exemplifies the simple, value packed approach to speaking which the author teaches. I'll definitely be returning to this in the future.
