Twenty case studies explaining how to gently deliver a range of life's most awkward messages while causing minimal harm. Life constantly requires us to give other people some hugely awkward messages: that we don't love them anymore; that we do love them (though we're not meant to); that they smell a bit; that they're fired; that we're furious with them (though we adore them) or that their music is too loud... Often, out of embarrassment, we just stay quiet. Occasionally we explode. And typically, we stumble about, looking for the right words - dreading that we didn't find them and thereby causing more hurt than we should. This is a book to help us locate the best possible words to get across a range of life's most difficult messages. With twenty case studies drawn from relationships, friendships, work, our families, and social situations, we are gently shown what we might - in an ideal world - find ourselves saying to make our intentions known while causing minimal harm. We are guided, among other topics, to how best to end a relationship, how to make it up with a child, and how gently to let down a friend who wants more. We laugh, we recognize our troubles - and we're introduced to a range of deeply empathetic ways to navigate some of our most acute social dilemmas.… (plus d'informations)

Do you ever find yourself in an awkward situation, internally panicking trying to figure out the best way to handle it? Do you care about making the right impression, or handling tough situations gently and with the best results?

This is a cute short read offering many suggestions to how to get around the awkward situations that are unavoidable in life. They are bound to happen at one point or another, don't get caught off guard! This book will help you tackle these situations with grace and confidence.

I can especially see this book being useful for shy introverts who may feel embarrassed and put on the spot, though it is also suggested for extroverts; we can all benefit from a refreshing crash course every now in then.

Though its an easy read, its provides great tools that you could use again and again. This book is simple and to the point when it comes to providing examples and suggestions of how to handle yourself, and while its not perfect, it is a must read for persons of all ages.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. ( )
