Read Them Early + Before You Answer · Edition II
David A. Kessinger, former Deputy Director of Clandestine Operations

You see it coming, and you know the name for it. Then the moment arrives, your heart is going, and the right answer shows up an hour later. Usually in the car.

Seeing it and answering it are two separate skills. Read Them Early teaches the first. Before You Answer handles the second, which has to work in about five seconds.

Between them, the two books cover:
✓ The play from its first step, in ten chapters: liars, narcissists, love bombing, gaslighting, guilt, silence, work and family
✓ The four questions I ask in every hard room
✓ How to say no once, without three reasons attached
✓ The answer to “hey stranger” after weeks of silence
✓ What to say when your idea comes back with someone else’s name on it

Next to every reply sits the tempting line to leave unsaid. Most people fold on the second sentence, when they start to explain.

Also inside: The 2 a.m. Card, The Before-the-Meeting Card, 20 Texts Never to Send, The Field Cards and The 7 Tells.
