The Communication Book by Mikael Krogerus & Roman Tschäppeler - Non Fiction - Hardback

Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Hardback. ISBN: 9780241982280. Publisher: Portfolio Penguin. Overview:. The Communication Book distils the art of talking, listening and persuading into 44 short, practical ideas you can put to use immediately. Written by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler, the bestselling duo behind The Decision Book, this compact hardback blends psychology, classic rhetoric and everyday observation into bite-sized lessons. Perfect for meetings, negotiations, difficult conversations or simply chatting with friends, it turns communication theory into confident, usable habits for work and home life.. About the Book:. Across 44 concise chapters, The Communication Book explores how we speak, listen, structure information and read the room. Each idea stands alone as a two-to-four page lesson, illustrated with the authors' signature hand-drawn diagrams, so readers can dip in wherever a conversation challenge arises rather than reading cover to cover. Topics range from classical techniques for structuring a persuasive argument, to modern advice on active listening, giving feedback, reading body language, and navigating small talk, difficult colleagues or high-stakes negotiations. The authors draw on sources as varied as Aristotle's rhetoric, cognitive psychology, and their own experience as consultants and writers, translating dense theory into plain, actionable language. Recurring themes include clarity over jargon, listening before responding, adapting your message to your audience, and using visual thinking to make complex points land. Because each idea is self-contained, the book works equally well as a cover-to-cover read or a reference to return to before a big presentation, tricky email or awkward family discussion. It is aimed squarely at anyone who wants to communicate with more confidence and less friction, whether that's a student learning to present, a manager giving feedback, or a professional trying to run tighter, more productive meetings..
