Synopsis: Do you words often crate the opposite effect of what you were hoping for―escalating tensions rather than solving problems? The author of Emotional Bullshit, Carl Alasko, believes that anyone can learn effective communication skills. In Say This, Not That, he provides simple instructions for what to say―and what not to say―in the moments when it really counts 9and not after the fact, when it doesn't). Accompanying each set of statements is a brief discussion about what makes one statement negative and destructive, and the other positive and effective. Guiding you in cultivating the ability to say what you really want to say in all areas of life―from dating and relationships to parenting and the workplace―Say This, Not That, is the ultimate resource for anyone who longs to consistently say the right thing at the right time. 'There's been a lot of conversation about holding better conversations, but in Say This, Not That, Carl Alasko takes you to a new level of practicality. With content your can apply immediately, you'll discover ways to enhance all of your relationships. ' John G. Miller, author of QBQ!
