practical and useful for personal and professional life

I read this together for a negotiations class in law school. The book provides good insight and useful guidelines for a range of situations in personal and professional life. And, I would tend to disagree with another reader's review that says the book doesn't cover the situation "where I'm correct and the other person is wrong." Actually, Chapter 2 is entitled, "Stop Arguing About Who's Right," and is devoted entirely to this situation.


Helpful, Detailed Information

In a practical just detailed manner, this book helps you to understand the issues surrounding tense discussions. You will develop a better understanding of why disagreements happen and the dynamics involved. The authors do a nice job of applying scientific studies to everyday life. The book lays out the three issues surrounding any disagreement. These issues are:

1. People don't agree on what really happened.
2. People experience various feelings about the disagreement.
3. A person's identity may be affected by the outcome of the disagreement.

This book can assist you in your work and personal relationships.

Absolutely Essential!

This book is absolutely essential to anyone in business and a fabulous resource for everyone, period! I recommend it without qualification.


Very Helpful!

I didn't think there was any help for my difficult conversatons, so I was surprised to find this informations so thorough and helpful. The material is very well organized. "Difficult Conversations" gave me real, practical strategies that have made a big difference in my ease in bringing up tricky conversations and working through them with positive results. Everyone in my family has agreed to listen to the audio program, which will be a big help in our communication. I highly recommend it.
