Members of the Harvard Negotiation Project--which brought you the mega-bestseller Getting to YES --show you how to handle your most difficult conversations with confidence and skill.
Whether you're dealing with an underperforming employee, disagreeing with your spouse about money or child-rearing, negotiating with a difficult client, or simply saying "no," or "I'm sorry," or "I love you," we attempt or avoid difficult conversations every day. Based on fifteen years of research at the Harvard Negotiation Project, Difficult Conversations walks you through a step-by-step proven approach to having your toughest conversations with less stress and more success. You will learn:
how to start the conversation without defensiveness
why what is not said is as important as what is
ways of keeping and regaining your balance in the face of attacks and accusations
how to decipher the underlying structure of every difficult conversation
Filled with examples from everyday life, Difficult Conversations will help you on the job, at home, or out in the world. It is a book you will turn to again and again for advice, practical skills, and reassurance.

评分##看到中文版很想看。后来发现自己看过啊!过去已经看了一小半,其实蛮啰嗦,这类书的通病。。
评分##继“亲密关系”后又一本看的时候醍醐灌顶用的时候原来什么样就什么样的书...这种技巧,还是跟在一个人情练达的师父身边耳融目染地学最有效啊
评分##good principles, need some practices。怎样不影响关系的情况下,展开可能引向争吵的对话,实践起来不太容易吧。
评分##what I know is only my intentions, my background knowledge and my experience. Don't take "my opinion" as the truth or fact. Think about what feelings have been caused, hurt, guilt, frustration? Think about what is the impact on my identity? I'm not perfect does not mean that I'm nothing at all... Do not ask a question if you don't have one...
评分##看的时候怀疑实用性,但最后一章和附录的路线图给出了清楚的谈话结构和方法
评分##very good
评分##Share emotion, no ‘what happened’ but start with contribution, Third story
