About this book

This book addresses conversations that occur when stakes are high. It draws attention to defining moments that shape lives, relationships, and the world. The third edition provides tools for high-stakes situations, including how to prepare for them, transform anger and hurt feelings into dialogue, create safety for difficult topics, and communicate persuasively without being abrasive. The book has been a New York Times and Washington Post bestseller. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, contributed a foreword. Mark Victor Hansen, cocreator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, is quoted endorsing the book's approach to improving the quality of conversations.
