书籍介绍
这本书最锋利的一点，是它毫不留情地戳破了职场沟通的幻觉：别人并不关心你想说什么，只关心你的话对他们有什么影响。作者把这套逻辑称为 Focus on Others——不是让你变得世故，而是把注意力从'我表现得怎么样'转移到'我给对方带来了什么'。它适合那些'明明很努力表达，却总被说没说到点子上'的人：演讲时被追问'你到底想让我们知道什么'，写邮件时石沉大海，开会时观点无人接话。书中给出了大量可落地的细节——如何用一句话先锚定'大家今天都关心X'、演讲时固定盯住一个人、用沉默的停顿掌控节奏、甚至通过适度暴露脆弱来赢得信任。它不装成高深理论，反而坦诚书名就是'Simply Said, Hardly Done'：道理简单，做到却难。唯一需要警惕的是它扑面而来的美式精英职场气息，若你身处非典型商业环境，其中的行为范式需自行取舍。

- "At the end of the talk, the speaker asked for questions. A 40-something audience member raised his hand and asked, “This is all very interesting, but what do you want us to know?” The speaker seemed baffled. “Do you want me to repeat my whole presentation?” he asked. “Not at all,” the audience membe"

用户评论
很实用的工具书 具体到很小的action items
书里谈到的tips都蛮基础的 但难得的是作者不光详细的介绍了 what to do, how to do it 还有why it should be done in certain ways #基础实操性强的读物 it all boils down to the very simple rule of communication - focusing on others, not yourself.
如何有效的沟通，如何高质量的影响他人，如何从听众的角度表达意见，这本书非常实用，细节到了演讲前如何介绍他人，或被他人介绍，五星好评，不仅仅可以读一遍，而且应该经常拿出来读读！
近期读过最好的工具书了
相比之前在coursera学过的business communication课程, 这本书的内容意外的更全面. 跳过了一些短时间内用不上的内容, 打算先开始尝试书中一些基础技巧.
