I downloaded this book for free from Libro.fm some time ago. While picking my next audiobook to listen to while cooking, I didn't feel like focusing on fiction or any serious story. I actually felt like listening to a podcast, but was lazy to search and try anything new... so my choice fell on this book by Anna Sale. I didn't know she has a podcast "Death, Sex & Money" - I might have accidently found a new podcast for me! Anna Sale has a very pleasant voice and I really enjoyed listening to her narrating her book. I struggle with difficult conversations like everybody else. Anna Sale doesn't give us a magic formula. Instead she shares her own experience and that of other people she interviewed specially for this book. There are a lot of interesting stories inside around death, sex, money, family and identity and how people have communicated about them, what has worked and what hasn't for them and what these issues actually mean to us. I like self-help books where there are more questions than there are answers and this is one of those. FROM LIBRO.FM: In Let’s Talk About Hard Things, Sale uses the best of what she’s learned from her podcast to reveal that when we dare to talk about hard things, we learn about ourselves, others, and the world that we make together. Diving into five of the most fraught conversation topics—death, sex, money, family, and identity—she moves between memoir, fascinating snapshots of a variety of Americans opening up about their lives, and expert opinions to show why having tough conversations is important and how to do them in a thoughtful and generous way. She uncovers that listening may be the most important part of a tough conversation, that the end goal should be understanding without the pressure of reconciliation, and that there are some things that words can’t fix (and why that’s actually okay). inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML:From the host of the popular WNYC podcast Death, Sex, & Money, Let's Talk About Hard Things is "like a good conversation with a friend" (The New Yorker) where "no topic is off-limits when it comes to creating meaningful connection" (Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone). Anna Sale wants you to have that conversation. You know the one. The one that you've been avoiding or putting off, maybe for years. The one that you've thought "they'll never understand" or "do I really want to bring that up?" or "it's not going to go well, so why even try?" Sale is the founder and host of WNYC's popular, award-winning podcast Death, Sex, & Money or as the New York Times dubbed her "a therapist at happy hour." She and her guests have direct and thought-provoking conversations, discussing topics that most of us are too squeamish, polite, or nervous to bring up. But Sale argues that we all experience these hard things, and by not talking to one another, we cut ourselves off, leading us to feel isolated and disconnected from people who can help us most.

I read this book very quickly, because it didn't have that much new to say. You should listen well, make space for hard conversations, and be willing for it to be challenging. Yep, generic and shallow. I was expecting more on the advice front and less on the "Death, Sex, Money, Family, and Identity straightforward obvious anecdote and advice" front. ( )
