This book has all the ingredients one needs to improve one’s interactions when one is stuck in cycles of rage or disagreement. It has remarkably similar prescriptions to other readings I have done on the subject on how to manage in a tense conversation in which one must come to some reasonable agreement. If everyone read a book like this once or twice in their lifetimes we might actually move the evolution ball down the court in a significant way. [Review from Goodreads]

Crucial Conversations tackles one of the most difficult subjects in human relationships: How to navigate difficult conversations when 1) the stakes are high 2)opinions are at opposite ends, and 3) when emotions are charged….At it’s core, the book dives deep into the human condition under duress.

One of the amazing books I have read in recent times…What makes this book wonderful is that tells you to change your Inner Game to be able to practice it. The tools the authors propose are not “fake-smile” type add-ons, but require a fundamental understanding of how emotions are inseparable from our behavior. [Review extracted from Goodreads]
