An interesting chapter. Not as easy to take on board immediately- I’ll need to sit with it a bit. Helped with desensitising the word ‘no’ and breaking down the concept of the sense of control it builds really got me thinking. It does seem a bit more forced than the other techniques- like you just have to get it over quick and then build from there.

This really is an insight into human psychology. I’m learning so much from each chapter and picking up a lot of useful tips for day to day interactions. It really is all about making someone feel understood and validated. This is key to breaking down barriers and connecting on a human level.

Labelling sounds like a great piece for building better relationships and having more meaningful conversations. The focus of this chapter on empathy was eye opening. I’m picking up a lot of techniques useful for everyday interactions that I hope will help me be a better communicator and make people feel comfortable when talking with me. Getting into psychology helps humanise even the most difficult people.

Definitely going to try mirroring. I like how it’s not all just listing dos and donts, but telling as story while doing so.
