1.0
I genuinely would like to have a fierce conversation with Susan Scott about what this book looks like from my queer, trying-to-be-antiracist, corporate-critical stripe of the beach ball. So I guess the book worked in that I want to have this conversation, especially given that I've been jaded about having these kinds of conversations for...well, years now? 3 stars for making me think, 0 stars for politics.

I felt like a lot of it was geared toward corporate America, which just isn’t very applicable to me.

3.75 out of 5. Great tools. Will def reread. Just a little dry and not easily digestible. I anticipate getting more out of it the 2nd time around.Â

Although I only got 20% of the way through, I skimmed around a lot initially to try to understand the framework. I don't think this book develops a strong framework compared to Crucial Conversations or Difficult Conversations and the writing comes off as stream of consciousness.

I felt fiercely dissatisfied with this book. I sincerely do not think it applies across lines of difference. As a neurodivergent, queer, biracial woman, I often felt very uncomfortable with the anecdotes and stories meant to give the principles of a fierce conversation more oomph. Many of the principles contradict each other, which would be fine, if those contradictions were acknowledged. Be that as it may, I'm offering two stars, because there are nuggets of wisdom that can be gleaned from each chapter, and I am certainly taking a phrase or two offered by Susan Scott and keeping them in my back pocket.
