"Does this book deliver on its promise of an effective way through sticky situations, whether 'with your babysitter or your biggest client'? It does." --The New York Times "These talented communicators blend a daunting array of disciplines into highly readable and practical advice." --Booklist "I'm on my third reading. Half the pages are dog-eared. This is a mind-bogglingly powerful book. For life." --Tom Peters "A user-friendly guide to mastering the talks we dread . . . a keeper." --Fast Company   "Emotional intelligence applied to life's toughest moments." --Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Working with Emotional Intelligence "The only people who shouldn't read Difficult Conversations are those who never work with people, anywhere." --Peter M. Senge, bestselling author of The Fifth Discipline "How do you confront your ex-spouse who's late picking up the kids? How do you tell a client their project took longer than expected and the bill is twice as high? How do you say 'I'm sorry'? Start by picking up Difficult Conversations ." --Citizen " Difficult Conversations will be appreciated by readers who wish to improve oral communication in all aspects of their daily lives." --Library Journal "Stone, Patton, and Heen illustrate their points with anecdotes, scripted conversations and familiar examples in a clear, easy-to-browse format." --Publishers Weekly "The central insights of Difficult Conversations so resonate with common sense that it is easy to overlook just how remarkable of a book it is . . . a must-read." --Harvard Negotiation Law Review "Examples more clear-headed and advice more precise than we've seen before." --Dallas Morning News "Stone, Patton, and Heen have written an extremely clear and unpretentious exposition of how to develop effective communication skills and a guide to achieving openness and constructive outcomes in dialogue . . . this book is, and probably for some time to come will be definitive." --Southern Communication Journal

    This book is in perfect like new condition! Appears to have never been read....the pages are clean crisp and inviting....much better than described. The price value is really super nice, as the fast shipping is. My books arrived double wrapped which prevented any damage during delivery...love that. I will certainly be shopping with this Seller again. Seller cares about the books they sell and the customer service is a big WOW. Thank you Seller!

    Book matches the description in the listing. The price was great as well. Shipped quickly. Packaging was terrible, just a thin plastic envelope with no cardboard to protect the book or bubble wrap. Luckily it only had a few dings, but it should have been better protected. Unsure if I'd risk buying again after this experience.

  • READ NOW; this book is a game changer

    This should be required reading for anyone who speaks and/or has interpersonal relationships. I read it slowly and re-read many parts, to ensure I digested everything and found opportunities to practice the new skills/strategies.
