Ask HN: Books for Effective Communication
I think it's worth pointing out that practicing this is hard, at least tome me. Being humorous/funny is one of the points in the book (IIRC), but being funny is often tough when you're angry, frustrated or just tired.So I agreed that piece-by-piece reading and re-reading help. These tips aren't easy to stick.
As a companion, some parenting books like Positive Discipline [1] might be worth a quick glance. These parenting books have certain similarities with "How to Talk" and some other books in this thread, like "Crucial Conversation". It's eye-opening.
(And I realized that this reply matches a typical anti-pattern called "too much speak". It's hard to put it in practice!)
