Verbal Self Defense

I recently borrowed the book The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense by Suzette Haden from a friend. I really enjoyed it and found it useful. It isn’t about how to be good at saying nasty things to people, as you might think. It’s about getting past people’s antagonistic tendencies and disarming potentially hostile conversation situations so that you can have worthwhile converstaions and discussions with people. Useful stuff!
