Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations by Kathryn Mannix
4.0
One of those books most people will probably pass off as self-help they do not need, but actually essential reading for a lot of us.
I really like how the author set the tone in her writing; it's with a kind voice that’s nurturing. I've read a lot of similar books where I felt ideologies were being pushed rather than suggested, and that I was being talked at vs being talk to/with. This book is sympathetic yet strong in its stance of encouragement.
I love how Dr Mannix included case studies that are relatable and accessible for people from all walks of life. It harbours a sense of neighbouring and society. But also, I’ve actually managed to get a lot of tips for when certain situations arise.
The last few chapters focusing on grief and bereavement were powerful especially with a nod to the times we live in in now.
Highly recommended.
