I'll be checking that out. I just read the free Kindle sample. I'll be reading this after I finish the first book linked below. I'm good at certain types of communication, but hopeless at others. I'm hoping between the three books in this post, I'll be able to get up to some reasonable level of being a more well rounded communicator.

I've seen this 1000x and this is a direct quote from the book.

This explains why, when you complain about your boss—“Jim is driving me crazy!”—and your spouse responds with a practical suggestion—“What if you just invited him to lunch?”—it’s more apt to create conflict than connection: “I’m not asking you to solve this! I just want some empathy.”

Duhigg, Charles (2024). Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection (Function). Kindle Edition.

That's me, 99.999% of the time. I'm the one that always responds with a practical suggestion on how to fix the situation.

I think the book Shawn mentioned is going to be along the same lines as the two books below.

Books by Vanessa Van Edwards. I'm reading this first one right now

I'll probably read this one next (or maybe Supercommunicators).
Another is Cues
