--The New York Times
--Booklist "I'm on my third reading. Half the pages are dog-eared. This is a mind-bogglingly powerful book. For life."

--Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Working with Emotional Intelligence "The only people who shouldn't read Difficult Conversations are those who never work with people, anywhere."
--Peter M. Senge, bestselling author of The Fifth Discipline "How do you confront your ex-spouse who's late picking up the kids? How do you tell a client their project took longer than expected and the bill is twice as high? How do you say 'I'm sorry'? Start by picking up Difficult Conversations."
