I read this book as an assignment for a communication class. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it was not only easy to read but, it provided valuable insight to what goes wrong during the communication process and how one can begin to steer the process back in a productive direction. After reading this book, I was able to use the practical applications to many different conversations i.e. personal and professional relationships. It is a truly valuable tool if you have ever left a conversation feeling that you could have done more. I will be purchasing the authors' other books.

The audiobook edition is what I am listening to, and it's one of the most compelling reads out there. This is not a self-help book, but it examines very clearly and concisely the forces and factors where influence takes hold and changes human behaviour. With clear examples and step by step analysis, the authors offer a convincing study of how people influence other people's behaviours, and insights to keep in mind in our own lives and actions. This is a book which examines people dynamics but uses strong anecdotal examples from around the world. A good effort that will be valuable for any leader, sociologist, etc.

I forgot I read this book until I saw it on my list. The teachings are memorable and I am still using them on a daily basis. I am also still giving people advice from this book. Excellent for managers and supervisors. I was making many common mistakes and this book helped put me in the right direction. It is rare for me to remember the in-depth content of books, but this one is well written and has helped me greatly.

This is my third purchase of this series, I keep giving it away. I saw the series presented as a "required" class at my customer site. I decided I better speak their language. We were having tough times communicating and I felt the customer didn't believe us and didn't know why. Instead of animosity we created an environment of safety. I was aware of my (and team's) tendencies under stress, we quickly could recognize when a crucial conversation was going the wrong direction. Once you have the tools to recongnize a safety problem, a strategy can pull it back on track to make progress. I bought it for work, and use it at home as well.

First, I'm a big fan of Ron's work with Vital Smarts and LOVE Crucial Conversations and Influencer. This though may be his most impactful book yet! This book makes me want to try harder to be a better person. It is fun and entertaining yet serious and practical. I couldn't put "And Should We Die" down once I picked it up. I loan it to everyone I know and recommend it often.

Thanks, Ron, for penning Randy's story. I can't imagine how hard it must have been, but doing so has helped so many of us.

Books : Zion: Seeking the City of Enoch
It is not often that a religious fictional work increases faith in the coming of a better day in our real lives. This book does that. Through a fictional story, the authors portray scriptural truth and insightful commentary on our day. They show that through trials men can become humble and seek God. And that society can reach an ideal. The book is not as preachy as this review : ) It is a quick and enjoyable read. It leaves you thinking. It inspires you to look upward in your own life.
