Do not go unarmed into that good night....

That seems simple enough. Walk away from crucial conversations and suffer the consequences. Handle them poorly and suffer the consequences. Or handle them well. "I don't know," you think to yourself. "Given the three choices, I'll go with handling them well."

Right after I read this book, I attended a meeting (what they pay me for) to research out the source of a few lost millions, and a few lost months of time, and some really unhappy financial people. I felt embarrassed that I had such modern dialogue tools available, kind of like Dr. Livingstone a few hundred years ago. Buy this book!

Crucial conversations (CD version)

Great series of CDs, easy-to-listen voice, solid information. Now I'm going to look for a workbook - would be a great tool for family or work-related "mini-retreat"

Excellent book on individual communication

The most challenging part of cummunicating os knowing when you are in a crucial conversation. Sometimes you will find yourself in one without planning it or seeing it coming. Knowing what to do ahead of time may help in these situations, and this book can help prepare you.

The book has a bit of a textbook feel to it and offers several memorization techniques RIB, STATE, and AMPP. It will help if the reader practices the techniques in a non-threatening environment prior to attempting them in a high stakes "cricial conversation."

Lots of people have good intentions, but don't know how to communicate them well. This book will help get the message across.

Ok Book

There are only a few points in this book that I feel are good advice. Ways to think about how to defuse a situation instead of escalation or how to win over someone by making them feel as if you are all in this together and on the same team.

Good worthwhile CD

This is a very good book to listen to, that is only 4 CD's long. It will take you 3 some hours of driving in a car to get through, and is worth every minute. I am a family therapist and am now using it in my practice for couples and parents that are struggling with their crucial conversations.
