Chatter by Ethan Kross

3.0

Read this as part of a book club for work. I struggle with books like this. The information was overall helpful and the tools and practices easily able to be implemented. The issue I have with most books like this is that I don't think they actually need to be a book. The first 10 pages tells you exactly what the book is about, what it will address, and some of the ideas around dissecting the parts. Then the next 150 pages overly describes in painstaking detail every single concept, with numerous similar examples. Then the last 10 pages does a great recap, with all the bullets you would have needed to have understood all the information, without actually having to have read the book. Like I said, I liked the concepts and the tools, but this book could have easily been an article in my opinion.
