Communication: Harness the power of verbal and nonverbal interaction to persuade, motivate, and inspire.

Action: Build shared purpose and lead by example.

Psychological Comfort: Discover the secret ingredient of exceptional individuals.

Listening to this audiobook feels like watching an interesting action movie where your eyes is glued to the screen. The way the author read this book it feels like you are James Bond in the movie and he is guiding you through the mission on being Exceptional.

Exceptional book!

The book is very easy to listen and understand. Great explanation of psychological concepts in a practical way. Too short though, I would listen more and more..

Excellent

This book is excellent for anyone who is looking to interact with others around them in a more effective way. Really enjoyed listening to and from work and the narrator has a very pleasing voice

Exceptional!

I've not read it listened to many books that have three potential to be life altering as this one.

Incedentaly, I just now realized that my header was the same as the name for this book. This could be Freudian but I think it's just a testimony to the quality of what Joe Navarto has written.

I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to improve who they are in their life.

Hooked
