How to Find the Right Words [EPUB ebook] 
A guide to delivering life’s most awkward messages

Підтримка

Twenty case studies explaining how to gently deliver a range of life’s most awkward messages while causing minimal harm.

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…

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.

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.

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.

Зміст

Introduction

 
Relationships


I want us just to be friends
Do you still love me?
We should break up
There’s this thing about me and sex
Yes I did have an affair

 
Friendships


Do you want to be friends with me?
I don’t want to be friends with you anymore
I love you
I can’t take your success
Thank you for dinner

Work

I’ve screwed up
There’s something wrong with you
Did you have a nice weekend?
Do it now!
You’re fired

Family


I’m so sorry for letting you down
I’m angry
I love you but we have so little in common
You have to do your homework

Strangers


There’s a fly in my soup
