Wow, 27 episodes now. That's like the average length of a season of the Simpsons. Sure, they’re funnier, more culturally iconic, have 33 seasons of content, and are generally better animated, but the comparison just writes itself, right? Right?
Welcome to Part 1 of the Crucial Conversations discussion. Joel’s found the principle of this book to be monumentally helpful in his daily life so he’s subjecting Naomi (and by extension, you) to it. The book deals directly with how to handle emotionally trying, relationship-defining conversations with bosses, colleagues, friends, family, and partners; if there’s something you’ve been meaning to talk about with your SO, maybe give this one a listen. Or just download it and keep putting off listening to it until you lose your phone. Either one helps our growth, but we would really prefer the former.
We can’t find a place to buy Crucial Conversations directly from the publisher; check out ThriftBooks and AbeBooks to find it deeply discounted and not support Amazon.
Our theme music is “Drop” by the artist Ketsa. If you like their music, you can find more of it here.
