Which book do you recommend more, Difficult conversations or Crucial conversations, or is it worth reading both? (I‘ve read NVC and love it)
Edit: oh, and there are a couple books with those names, so metioning the author would be nice :)
- BeetleB 6y agoI would say both. If you had to pick one, go with DC. However, there were some things in CC that I didn't find elsewhere. As an example, it focuses on how a lot of people don't realize they're in a poor/tense conversation until it's too late, and it emphasizes the need to develop the skill to become aware of this. OTOH, CC attempts to prescribe how to behave are pretty poor. I would not focus too much effort on emulating those. At first read, all 3 sound like fairly different books. A year after I read them, I was going over all the notes I had made for them, and was surprised to find out that all 3 are mostly saying the same things.
