Customer Reviews

Incredible!!

More than how to reveal hard truths, this book offers the astute guidelines that will help develop both better communication and social skills. The book is well laid out, easy to read, succinct and insightful. Thank you, Dr. Foster!

The best book on speaking from the heart about tough truths

I believe in the truth--that it should make things better. But like a lot of people I hate conflict and confrontations. That's always made me bite my tongue when I should've spoken up. This is the only book I've seen that shows me how to have more truth and more harmony in my life at the same time. Plus this book is filled with wonderful, insightful, illuminating stories. I felt the author understood me. This book is the best.
