Book Summary: Crucial Conversations: 45 Minutes - Key Points Summary/Refresher with Crib Sheet Infographic Paperback – November 15, 2015

Every conversation has the potential of being a “crucial” conversation where disagreements lead to arguments. Therefore, everyone who has ever disagreed with anyone would do well to read this book…However, just like the book is always better than the movie, the actual book is better than the summary. Crucial Conversations has a lot more stories, which provide the depth necessary to digest the subject matter. So if you want a taste of what the author is teaching, then read this brief summary, and it the subject is intriguing I promise the actual book is worth the additional time it will take to read it. The original Crucial Conversations book has compelling stories, intriguing illustrations, and helpful reflection questions that will strengthen your ability to use these tools.Final note: for those OCD among us, this summary (unlike the actual book) is filled with grammatical errors, which are distracting and can slow down your reading.Happy reading!

The full version book has some great information, but has too much extraneous information. While some of the examples of situations were illustrative, many of them just seem pointless and were a distraction from the main theme. My main issue with the full book is that the authors seem to restate the same idea over and over. This summary book boils the content down to the important facts and tools needed to improve conversations and is quite honestly a much easier and coherent read.

Good and short summary of the full book and each chapter.

I like these summaries for a busy person it great you can get a lot of knowledge from them is a short read. This crucial conversation provides insight Into how to deal with the tuff conversation that come up in our day to day life and how to navigate those conversation with easy and strength. After reading the summary I might go read the full version a lot of good information
