Conversation isn't a magical gift given to a lucky few. It's a code — a set of principles anyone can learn, practise, and improve.
Hamed Ziaei learned that the hard way.
As an engineer who rebuilt an entire conversational life in a second language and a new country, he spent years more comfortable with calculations than with small talk. He once sat a few seats from someone for months without managing to say hello. He answered simple questions with ten-minute explanations. He replayed awkward moments on the drive home, finding the perfect response several hours too late.
Then he started treating conversation the way he treated everything else in his work: as a system with parts that can be understood, tested, and improved.
The Conversation Code distils what he learned into twenty practical principles, organised into four parts:
THE FOUNDATIONS OF REAL CONVERSATION
Why speaking and communicating are not the same thing. Why listening is usually the better half. How clarity beats cleverness every time — and why nobody is grading your grammar.
EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS
How to handle small talk without dreading it. Why questions open doors that statements cannot. How to enter a conversation naturally, leave one gracefully, and read a room without losing yourself in it.
DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
How to disagree without making enemies. How to say no without guilt or a ten-minute defence. How to deliver bad news without destroying trust, receive criticism without collapsing, and repair a conversation that has gone wrong.
DEEPER CONNECTION
Why vulnerability is a skill rather than a weakness. Why making someone feel heard is rarer than impressing them. How to navigate a second language, a second culture, or a room where you don't yet belong — and why the conversations you have with yourself shape all the others.
No tricks. No scripts. No pretending.
Every chapter ends with a short takeaway — one principle, one practice you can try this week, and one line worth remembering. This book doesn't just change how you think about conversation. It changes how you speak this week.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF:
- You have ever walked away from a conversation thinking, I should have said that differently
- Small talk feels like an exam you didn't study for
- You avoid difficult conversations until they become harder
- You are speaking, working, or living in a second language
- You want to be understood at work without sounding like a manual
- You are quieter than the people who seem to get heard
Silence feels safer. Speaking builds a life.
The Conversation Code shows you how to start the conversation while the moment is still ther

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
