A lot of this information was stuff that I already knew but it was put in new perspectives that helped me realize how important these skills are. I am actively paying attention to those around me and how much conversational skills matter

Slightly repetitive but a very important message that we could all benefit from.

On the regular, I’ve told people that just because something is mentioned doesn’t mean it needs to be fixed. I also learned to offer silence when friends start to complain or explain something they’re frustrated about but I’ll always ask questions without giving advice. Even when there has been some interaction that seems like it’s gone off, I ask directly, “am I doing something that…” because part of that may be the people pleasing but I also assume that I’ve made a mistake before others have. While this doesn’t make me perfect because no one is, I have noticed a lot of the same issues because others don’t know how to respond to it and make assumptions rather than listening to what I’m asking/saying, or not asking/saying. I have had a lot of really amazing conversations and many of my friends have some kind of history that they now feel needs to come with a disclaimer because of how others have responded. While that’s unfortunate and I feel for them, it’s also kind of ensuring they’ll have better connections with those who actually take a beat and give others a chance.

Helpful book, if one I took in chunks. Seemed hard to get a good rhythm going, but a solid read.

I just didn’t really connect with this book. I loved listening to her opinions about how to have positive conversations with people you may disagree with. I admire her for living the truth, and some of her stories were interesting but a lot of the conversation just didn’t resonate with me.

This entire book changed my way of what i thought it meant to be with people and talk to them. I am working on through my struggles. if i didn't read a book like this I may never have seen mine and others faults.

Some helpful tidbits throughout and neat examples that I will keep with me. Pace can be slow but overall enjoyable!
