Publisher's summary

Stop pushing each other away. Learn to build bridges instead of walls—even when you disagree.

Satisfying relationships are built on the foundation of being heard, understood, and validated. Miscommunication can lead to conflict, misunderstandings, and loneliness.

Uncover why your efforts at connection might be failing.

In How to Talk, Listen, and Forgive, Zoe McKey addresses the core issues that prevent healthy communication. Learn how to respond rather than react, how to empathize even when -especially when- it’s hard, and maintain a secure bond over the long haul. This book provides actionable techniques and insights to enhance your communication skills, ensuring your relationships are fulfilling and resilient.

Discover how to transform your interactions and build deeper connection.
  • How to use the ‘4 Ear Model’ when listening to others.
  • How to sustain passion and engaged communication after the ‘honeymoon phase’.
  • The difference between healthy, unhealthy, and toxic communication style and how to manage each.
  • How to navigate doubts.
  • Exercises to practice empathy and active listening during disagreements.
  • The power, the path, and the process of forgiveness.
Practice self-reflection.

Notice if you hold yourself to the same standard you expect your partner to achieve. See if you’re protecting your own boundaries and respecting the one raised by your partner. Are you truly paying attention to what the other says, or thinking about your reply? Are the two of you a team against the problem or fighting each other to be right?

By answering these questions and applying the techniques from this book, you will increase the quality of your relationship and the quality of your showing up as a partner.

When to consider working through issues and when to choose conscious uncoupling.

There are times when the question isn’t “how can we fix this together” but rather “should we be together.” While it’s a terrifying and excruciating conundrum, it is important to be examined.

The healthy-relationship-muscle, built on mutual respect and love, needs constant work just like any other muscle.

Zoe McKey is an internationally best-selling author and communication coach. She knows firsthand how it feels to try your best, yet still be unheard, unseen, and misunderstood. Using a mix of scientific research and real-life experience, she offers practical methods to cultivate loving and long-lasting partnerships.

Boring

The narrator made me sleepy. Don’t waste your money or credit on this book. It’s hard to listen to this book because the narrator didn’t use emotions while reading
