There is a lot of very good content in this book and I have no doubt that everyone (including me)can benefit from studying and applying the principles taught. Having said that, this book just didn't speak to me. I struggled to get through the pages and had to force myself to read and finish it.
Maybe at another point in my life this would be a 5 star book, but for now, it was difficult to finish.

This book was insightful and helpful in helping navigate high stakes conversations where emotions run high and there are differing opinions. It's this sort of practical communication skills that I wish I learned more in college.
.
This was very hard to digest at times though as it did call out some unproductive communication habits I'm definitely guilty of. Still, I fully believe that if you're a person that has to talk to other people in any capacity, you'll get something out of this book.
.
My only gripe is that the sample conversations are too convenient and in the real world, will not wrap up that neatly. I get that there's only so much a book can do by way of example but the unrealistic conversation examples did take me out.

Work, relationships, everyday interactions - these strategies are a fantastic way to bravely tackle making important decisions when conversing with others. Changing my life from just reading it & can't wait to start implementation of the skills!
