5 out of 5 stars Best Textbook I've Ever Used   November 3, 2006
K. Lam
10 out of 11 found this review helpful

As a college student, I'm used to dry, terse textbooks that I fall asleep over, but Looking Out, Looking In is different. The art, poetry, illustrative stories, even the cartoons are beautiful and entertaining. The content is well organized, enjoyable reading and the extra exercises are so much fun that I've done them when they weren't assigned (well, I'm also a bit of a nerd, but that's beside the point). If you're a communications or psychology prof browsing for a new curriculum, do your students a huge favor: use this book!


5 out of 5 stars A manual for all   January 3, 2007

I will suggest this manual to every couple, especially the newly wed, even before suggesting any "how to ..my babie". I wish I had this book 40 years ago, most of my troubles would have never come. Many manuals out there, such "How to satisfy your woman/man" and such are just the mechanics of human relation, this is its soul.
Matter of fact I will bring a copy to Italy next May to two newly wed couples.

5 out of 5 stars Good textbook   March 24, 2009
A. Enns (Kansas City, Mo.)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this book for a communication course at my college. I accidentally bought an old edition, but there was very little that was different. In an entire semester, I only had to borrow someone else's new edition once.
Very easy to read and understand. Full of cartoons (Zits, Family Circus, Cathy) that are very helpful for explaining concepts. The activities are very simple and easy to complete, but incredibly helpful in examining one's self.
This is the only textbook I've ever had that I read in my free time - not just for studying, but because it's fascinating.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Communication Textbook   July 4, 2009
Shawna Key (Bealeton, VA USA)
Looking Out, Looking In is required for many college-level communications classes. A student will learn a lot from this textbook. It packs a lot of good, useful information in each chapter. If a person is looking for information on how people communicate - for a college class or just for your own information - this book is an excellent source.
