"No Offence, But...": How to have difficult conversations for meaningful change by Gina Martin

challenging hopeful reflective

4.0

As someone who's pretty open to wondering the why's of + challenging many of the 'dominant' orders in modern societies this helped sharpen into focus some topics that I hadn't considered in as much depth before and helped challenge some of my preconceptions also. 

I did wish some of the essays from the main author were honed down a bit, but it was still written engagingly enough to pass through the occasional parts that felt repetitive.

The prompts for discussion were a great addition and for some of the essays I wished that had been expanded upon. These parts felt more useful than any of the stats; because a lot of the conversations around these topics are likely be driven by emotion and questioning the roots of thought (or lack of) behind it is more likely to open someone's mind than firing numbers at them. 

Overall recommend and will refer back to.
