Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations
Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations | Kathryn Mannix
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
From the bestselling author of With the End in Mind, a book about the hardest conversations we have in life and how to do them right - honestly and without regret. Dr Kathryn Mannix has spent most of her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. This book comes from conversations with many thousands of dying people and their loved ones. In beautiful and profoundly moving case studies - some about loss but others covering the many varied difficult moments in life - Mannix shows why it is so hard to say what we mean, to open up channels of honesty and tenderness, and to listen. This book is a moving study in empathy with practical, deeply felt insights. It can prepare us for the inevitable - death and loss and change - and it can show us how to be there for others.

I loved the author‘s other book, With the End in Mind so I was pleased to get this #netgalley #ARC.

For me, it‘s not quite as impactful, perhaps because of the slightly ‘easier‘ subject matter, but it is still a great read.

The author has a way of using real-life examples alongside the theory that makes even difficult subjects easy to understand. Her writing style helps you to really think about how you can implement her recommendations.

squirrelbrain @JennyM - have you seen this one? It‘s due out in the UK next week, but not sure about Australia 😘 3y
rabbitprincess This is an immediate buy for me! I really appreciated 3y
squirrelbrain I‘m sure you‘ll like it @rabbitprincess, if you liked With the End in Mind. It has a very similar style, just not as 😢! 3y
