A great tool for any kind of relationship

Are you engaged in a relationship were the only communication possible is arguing? Are you resentful because you never know how to make your partner understand what you feel because of his or her actions? Then this book is for you. This is not about solving problems, it is about communication between two people, how to make a constructive conversation were you can understand and being understood. I read this book cover to cover when I got it last November (2005), and it is on my night stand ever since. I am having a difficult time with my wife, and although the book is not about how to solve the problems in a marriage I certainly have learned how avoid arguments, and how to engage in fruitful conversations. I found it so good that I always have an extra copy to give away to friends or relatives in trouble.

Practical To The Point

Douglas Stone demonstrates great awareness of the subject matter. He states the principles and then illustrates them with powerful examples. He made me think of my own approach in difficult conversations. The person who buys this book will not regret the purchase.

Now I Know

Maybe you have been thinking about conversations but, really, this is an enlightment. Maybe there are other methods worth of learning but this is a impressive dissection of what a conversation is, helping you to understand, perhaps for the first time, how to talk, how to chat, how to discuss, how to have a win-win conversation. There is an audiobook slightly abridged if you like.

Also a little psychology

This book not only discusses how to argue effectively it also touches on the nature of conflict between people. It talks about why we argue about certain things and why it is sometimes hard to say exactly what you mean during an argument. It's a very good intro into the art of conversation and also a glimpse into our hearts and minds.
