Foreword


Introduction



Back Up to Go Forward


We are neglecting three vital communication habits



Invert Your Expectations


Expect less from technology and more from people



Lose Your "Friends"


Important relationships are being trumped by people you barely know



Stop Talking


Hypercommunication is the problem, not the solution



Don't Be Yourself


It's an excuse for Neanderthal behavior



Play Dumb


Don't pin the tail on the donkey



Question Your Questions


Many questions make conversations worse



Ignore Your (Telltale) Heart


It wants you to talk without a plan



Don't Solve Problems


You are messing around with far too many issues already



Blow Things Off


Protect what matters by letting go of what doesn't



Let Difficult People Win


Stop trying to impose your will on tough communicators



Respond with Weakness


Bring a stick to a knife fight



Change Your Change Plan


Do last what you want to do first



Take Things Off the Table


Just because you can talk about something doesn't mean that you should



Be Boring


Most conversations are exciting for all the wrong reasons



Give People What They Want


Few things connect like a story
