Absolutely the best book on communication

Reviewed in India on 19 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I don’t usually write reviews, but this book is gold for anyone looking to communicate better in their professional or personal life. Every chapter is dense but at the same time accessible in language. Every other line can be highlighted and be used in real life situations. If you lack in some areas of communication and desire to fix the same, you must read Crucial Conversations.

Remarkable book to learn crucial conversations

Reviewed in India on 31 January 2019

Verified Purchase

One of the best books on personal development related to improving interpersonal skills. This book teaches how to handle that critical one to one communication that has the potential to sabotage one's relationship if not handled carefully. How unbeknownst to us our own heart betrays us when we get caught up in heat of argument and subconsciously plans, hatches up plan to defeat our intentions this book explains it all. Book offers principles, know how & practices to develop self-awareness during those critical moment when conversation can spiral out of control from innocent to crucial to disastrous. Book is guided by serious research of tools offered. Examples provided to illustrate are to the point & extremely persuasive. One can have immediate impact on one's life if one becomes aware of basic principles presented even one is not in possession of skills required or yet to acquire the skills to practice those principles.

Awesome Read!!

Reviewed in India on 1 February 2016

Verified Purchase

It is one of the finest books I have read so far. The best thing about the book it that it clearly deals with:
Why crucial conversation?
When crucial conversation? &
How to manage crucial conversation..
At one point of time, I felt that conversation cannot be successful only by the efforts of an individual; it has to be a conversation. Surprisingly, towards the end book talks about that as well leaving you delighted & satisfied.
This book needs to be referred again & again!

Life changing. Buy it.

Life changing. Buy it.

I have ready few books that have truly changed the way I interact with the world. This is one of them. I read this book in the mists of a messy divorce and it really helped to clear things up. It showed me that I was going about conversations in completely the wrong way. I wish I had found this sooner in my life. It would have changed so much.

It will teach you how to interact with people when it matters most. Whether its partners, children, parents, manager, boss, strangers or friends you are most likely messing up your conversions and not even noticing it.

I can not recommend this book enough. I recommend it to everyone who asks me about books or if I think it can help them.
Its also available on audiable. I have both. However you get it, get it.

This book is paired amazingly with Chimp paradox. These 2 book are my killer combo recommendation.
Once you have finished it, take some time to reflect deeply. You'll be surprised what you discover with your new knowledge.

Effective tool for INTJs

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2018

Verified Purchase

For the MBTI framework believers, specifically those of which are classified as INTJ, this book is an absolute MUST.

The book presents the unfortunate situation we all live in, which is the inability of people to speak their mind without it having an impact on the way they are seen. Hence becomes a practical tool for people management.

Fortunately there is a CEO who recognises this madness and inefficiency and has built his company based on "Radical Transparency"....top 5 biggest hedgfund in the world....Bridgewater associates.

Massive disappointment

Given the strong reviews this book has, I was expecting some wonderful accionable insights. The book does offer some in theory but the gap between practical application is lacking.

Full of results of studies and examples of what they were about but not much content.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is full of "results of studies shows x% of people" followed by examples after examples and therefore I found it difficult to follow as I would have preferred to know the actual content which seems to be getting lost and hard to follow. I do not have the time to analyse the stats and examples so it seems like a waste.

This book is indispensable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2019

Verified Purchase

The book has had a profound effect on how I approach negotiation both at work and in personal life. In our world cheap advice is abundant and too many are looking for a bag of tricks to make others do what they want. This book is very different: it starts with explaining how negotiations work in principle and why having a fixed goal is detrimental to the success.
