Хорошая книга

Написано легко и с душой, хоть и без особой структуры. Почти в формате "кейс - разбор кейса", но не совсем. Немного есть о понятии картины мира, но о картинах мира лучше почитать у Тарасова. Немного есть о том, как подготовиться к сложному разговору, но про это есть контент получше, например, "Сложные разговоры". Наверное, самое полезное в этой книге - это разбор некоторых классических ситуаций вроде "заказчик напрямую звонит сотруднику".
It was ok

The book is badly written. It's 10 times longer than it should be, and it's full of useless marketing and platitudes. The idea of the book is fine. Find and read a summary instead of this.
