It's a very short, but genuinely useful book.\n\nTBH, I was pretty disappointed for the first 30-40%. The advice was actionable but felt really generic ("thanks, Captain Obvious!") and not particularly insightful. Fortunately, it got MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better in the second half: there are some great techniques related to confidence, boundaries, pace, defensiveness, etc. I was listening to it while running, on my phone without an app to take notes, and I really regret that – there were so many good...

2.5 starsThere's some universally applicable advice in "The Power of Talk: Communicate Better, Argue Less", but Jefferson Fisher's insistence that a societally ingrained masculine communication style is the ideal standard bothers me. This is especially true when we consider how people who *aren't* White, Straight (Christian) Males are perceived when they communicate in that way. In my opinion, Fisher shows a real lack of understanding regarding societal expectations and constraints around gender...
