Communication is vital to human relations, but the nature of the communication will determine the strength of the relationship. As the names suggest, healthy communication will result in a healthy bond, while unhealthy communication will result in an unhealthy relationship. Consequently, three authors, Bobby R. Patton, PhD., Rusalyn H. Andrews, PhD., and Jennifer Page Daily, MD, wrote Keys to Healthy Communication to save us from communication-related crises.

The authors draw on experiences from different backgrounds to explain how communication can build or break society. The book explores verbal and nonverbal communication among individuals or organizations and how it relates to health and social behaviors. The authors give a step-by-step manual to develop and maintain healthy communication.

I found many things to like in this book. The book's overall topic, communication, was very educational to me. Until I read this book, I wasn't aware that my behaviors were a type of communication that could affect others' health and our relationship. Secondly, I found it easy to read this book because the topics were well organized. It is easy to confirm the book's claims in real time because citation numbers are pasted just after a text, and clicking the number directly opens a footnote with all the detailed explanations. Additionally, the authors included tables to break down further information for their audience and exercises to involve readers in the healthy communication journey. That is wise because it will put the book's words into action and impact readers' lives as intended by the authors.

Besides a couple of errors I found in the book, I didn't encounter anything significant to make me dislike the book or suggest any changes. Although it wasn't professionally edited, another round of editing will make it perfect. Therefore, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because of the many positives I encountered. I recommend it to youth and everyone above that age. The people in this age bracket do a lot of communication, whose impact is felt by society.

Thanks for a great review. I've always known that communication is through words and body language. However, from your review I see that how we behave is also another form of communication. I've downloaded the book so I'm looking forward to gain new insights on how to communicate.

I would like this. This would be very helpful and useful in our daily lives. This could also be used by those conducting sessions on communication in various institutions, government agencies, business establishments, academe, and even in small groups with a given objective to achieve. Based on the review, it has documented experiences from various backgrounds to explain its theme. It also has tables and exercises. What caught my attention was the step-by-step manual for developing healthy communication. That would be very useful. The authors are also experts and their high credentials could be cited to be very credible when presenting or imparting their pointers to others. Nice!

There is a lot of truths to statements in your first paragraph because good communication indeed leads to a big bond while bad communication leads to enmity. Thank you for the wonderful and educative review.
