Occasionally we explode. And typically, we stumble about, looking for the right words - dreading that we didn't find them and thereby causing more hurt than we should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book to help us locate the best possible words to get across a range of life's most difficult messages. With twenty case studies drawn from relationships, friendships, work, our families and service situations, we are gently shown what we might - in an ideal world - find ourselves saying to make our intentions known while causing minimal harm. We are guided, among other topics, to how best to end a relationship, how to make it up with a child and how gently to let down a friend who wants more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe laugh, we recognise our troubles - and we're introduced to a range of deeply empathetic ways to navigate some of our most acute social dilemmas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The School of Life","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43173996331251,"sku":"9781912891511","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781912891511.jpg?v=1662062050","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/how-to-find-the-right-words-the-school-of-life-9781912891511","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
