How to Find the Right Words: A Guide to Delivering Life's Most Awkward Messages

<p><b>Twenty case studies explaining how to gently deliver a range of life's most awkward messages while causing minimal harm.</b><br></p><p><b><br></b></p><p><br>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...</p><p> <p/>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.</p><p> <p/>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.</p><p> <p/>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.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><b>GIFT </b>beautifully packaged in premium gift format.</li><li><b>A PRACTICAL GUIDE </b>helpful advice on naviga
