How to have that difficult conversation
von Henry Cloud und John Townsend
Full of practical tips and how-tos, this book will help you make your relationships better, deepen your intimacy with people you care for, and cultivate more love, understanding, and respect between you and others.
Many of us try to avoid conflict as much as posssible but if you want to succeed in life you need to confront well. Communicating your likes and dislikes, your wants and needs improves relationships and can solve important problems. But we often see confrontation as scary or adversarial and lack the skills to have difficult conversations.
Authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend have discovered that uncomfortable situations are best dealt with through direct conversation.
They take the principles from their award-winning book Boundaries and apply them to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships in order to:
- Show how healthy and direct confrontation can improve relationships
- Give you the essentials of a good boundary-setting conversation
- Share tips on preparing for this kind of conversations
- Explain how to tell people what you want, confront bad behavior, and deal with counterattack
- Give actual examples of conversations to have with your loved ones or your coworkers or whereever needed!
This practical handbook on positive confrontation will help you finally have that difficult conversation you've been avoiding and thereby improve your life.
