Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In this lucid English language debut, life coach Kuschik provides readers with 50 sentences designed to streamline communication in messy situations. Short chapters expand on each statement--which can be said aloud in a conversation or to oneself--some of which paraphrase well-worn aphorisms; "When you point a finger at someone, you're pointing three at yourself," for instance, leads to a thorough discussion of how anger toward others often stems from one's own problems, an insight that can help one reclaim a sense of self-control in an argument. "It all sounds logical, but my feelings suggest something else," reminds readers to avoid getting sidetracked by others' opinions and listen to their own intuition, even if they don't know exactly where it's coming from. Not all the sentences feel natural ("I don't want to support you in your weakness" is meant to be used when a friend needs tough love), and several tread familiar ground. Still, Kuschik effectively shows how each can help readers distill their emotions and clarify intent in the heat of the moment. The result is a useful tool for navigating sticky situations. (Nov.)
