Sometimes it seems that the interlocutor speaks a different language, and the dialogue does not go well, no matter how hard you try to find arguments. But it is still necessary to find a common language, and then authentic communication comes to the rescue - that is, communication in which a person is aware of what is happening during a conversation, acts at his own discretion and at the same time remains as honest as possible with himself and others. He does not manipulate, does not bend, but also does not try to put pressure on authority, does not play intellectual games. Such an interlocutor lives and speaks sincerely and openly. Alexey Ivanov and Sveta Shedina, hosts of the podcast "But you hold on" and founders of the TalkAuthentic project, will help readers develop authenticity skills in communication, increase the level of awareness in dialogue, learn to defend their boundaries and solve complex issues. The book contains a description of the principles of authentic communication, their application in typical situations, examples from the experience of the authors and students of their course, as well as practical exercises. It will be useful to anyone who wants to build communication in different contexts, be it small talk, business negotiations, correspondence with clients or confidential communication with family and friends.
