"Natural Bridges in Interpersonal Communication is an ideal book for undergraduate students. It offers the students very practical down to earth suggestions as to how to be a better interpersonal communicator and overall human being. Not only does the book address communication theory, but it also offers practical ways for the students to implement theories in their daily lives. Many of my students have mentioned how much the book meant to them as well as their friends and family who they have shared it with. Having used this book for many years, I highly recommend it."
