Common sense advice

I loved it and wouldn’t recommend it to everyone whether you’re looking for someone to help you with communicating with other people.

This guy is spot on!!

What an amazing book about how to have controlled conversations.
A must read for everyone! A+++

Easily Digestible

I have followed Jefferson on IG for a little while now. This book was highly anticipated, and it did not disappoint. Jefferson's approach makes these concepts easily digestible and immediately usable. I love how his tips for better communication can be applied quite literally in your next conversation. I also love that he was the narrator because I enjoy his calming voice and cadence.

A must read!

Jefferson makes real and relatable! I loved it so much that I also ordered the print copy so I can make notes as I listen…again! New nuggets with each listen!

Loved it!

Very practical advice delivered in an engaging format. I loved the stories but even more so the practical application. I can’t wait to try it out!

Must read

This is one of the most impactful books I’ve read this year. I read the physical copy and also listened to it on Audible, 5 stars both ways. “Let your breath be your first word” will be with me forever. Thank you, JF.

Easy to follow and incredibly helpful

I've been a fan of Jefferson Fisher since first coming across his channel on FB. This book provides more context to his advice (then a quick, but also helpful video) and allows the reader to better understand his suggested approaches for communication. I'm so thankful for his contributions.

110% Recommended. You will not regret this purchase.

This is by far the single best communication book I have ever read, and I have read many on this subject as I work in the business of highly escalated communication AND have a complicated personal life. Jefferson Fisher has a very impressive habit of under promising while over delivering. This book managed to be an entertaining read while at the same time giving you Actionable Tools to immediately use in your next potentially difficult conversation. This book is a must read. Thank you for writing it Jefferson. 5 Stars is an understatement for this book.

Must listen on Audible

This book is stellar. Jefferson’s thoughts, perspectives, and analyses of different conversations and techniques is superb. I initially planned to get the print version of this book, but am so glad I opted for the Audible version. Jefferson is a master communicator. Hearing him narrate his own book, incorporating all of what he is saying into his own narration, is next level. This book is so good, it deserves a second listen. Well done.
