"Whether you are 18 or 80, female or male, married or single, employed or unemployed, it is never too late to learn skills that will enrich and improve the quality of your life. Interpersonal, small-group, and public communication skills are not inborn. You have to develop them, a process that will continue throughout your life. That is why this book is designed to provide you with a program for lifelong learning. If you want to improve your ability to relate to people in your social life, your job, or your academic life, now is the time to start making communication work."
