Book summary
Core Idea:
Every difficult conversation is actually three conversations in one:
- The “What Happened?” Conversation – differing perceptions and assumptions.
- The Feelings Conversation – unspoken emotions that drive tension.
- The Identity Conversation – how the issue affects our self-image.
Key Takeaways:
- Difficult conversations are unavoidable—but they can be navigated with skill and empathy.
- The goal isn’t to “win” but to understand, express, and engage constructively.
- Listening deeply, acknowledging emotions, and separating intent from impact are crucial.
- You don’t need to have all the answers—you just need to show up with curiosity and clarity.
Tone & Style:
The book is warm, insightful, and filled with real-life examples. It doesn’t preach—it guides. Perfect for someone like you who values emotional intelligence and intentional communication.
