We Need to Talk: A survivals guide for tough conversations by Joshua Graves and kindly sponsored by Rosenfeld Media, offers a tactical, psychologically grounded framework for navigating difficult conversations with confidence and care. Drawing on communication theory, neuroscience, and real-world experience, the book helps readers transform potentially confrontational interactions into opportunities for growth, focusing on authenticity, psychological safety, and de-escalation. Chapters cover topics like preparing for tough talks, managing defensiveness, addressing pay gaps, and navigating cultural dynamics, all without prescribing rigid scripts and instead offering adaptable tools for many real-life scenarios.
