THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From communication expert Jefferson Fisher, the definitive book on making your next conversation the one that changes everything

No matter who you’re talking to, The Next Conversation gives you immediately actionable strategies and phrases that will forever change how you communicate. Jefferson Fisher, trial lawyer and one of the leading voices on real-world communication, offers a tried-and-true framework that will show you how to transform your life and your relationships by improving your next conversation.

Fisher has gained millions of followers through short, simple, practical videos teaching people how to argue less and talk more. Whether it’s handling a heated conversation, dealing with a difficult personality, or standing your ground with confidence, his down-to-earth teachings have helped countless people navigate life’s toughest situations. Now for the first time, Fisher has distilled his three-part communication system (Say it with control, Say it with confidence, Say it to connect) that can easily be applied to any situation.

You will learn:

  • Why you should never "win" an argument
  • How to assert yourself and communicate with intention
  • How to set boundaries and frame conversations
  • Why saying less is often more
  • How to overcome conflict with connection

The Next Conversation will give you practical phrases that will lead to powerful results, from breaking down defensiveness in a hard talk with a family member to finding your own assertive voice at the boardroom conference table. Your every word matters, and by controlling how you communicate every day, you will create waves of positive impact that will resonate throughout your relationships to last a lifetime.

Everything you want to say, and how you want to say it, can be found in The Next Conversation.

Fantastic practical book!
Such an incredible and practical book. So easy to read, with lots of great examples and step by step instructions. I finish off each chapter by looking at his photo on the cover and saying, “you are one very wise man!” This book does not disappoint. I will be keeping this on hand for quick reference for ever!

    Really enjoyed Jefferson's straight-forward advice. He writes in a way that the average person can comprehend. I would read a few chapters at a time to really digest the information before moving on. I'm sure I'll read through this again as I stumble in various aspects of conflict and confidence when engaging in conversations with others.

    I have a complicated family background, with my own mental health challenges and reading this book has given me some great insight, and I'm even able to apply it in my convos with friends! I know I see myself as generally very empathic, but reading this and following Jefferson has definitely helped with defensiveness and understanding the pace of a convo too. Great book!!

    This book is fantastic. The practical advice and strategies are so well thought out and offer real solutions to tough conversations, people and situations.

    The stories and insights the Jefferson shares from his own life really bring the concepts to life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who like me has found themselves saying the wrong thing and turning conversations into conflicts without meaning to. I'm finding so much value, hope and inspiration in these pages.

    Jefferson Fisher’s Argue Less, Talk More is a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their relationships—whether at home, work, or anywhere in between. His approach is practical, insightful, and refreshingly easy to apply in everyday life.

    What I love most about this book is how it shifts the focus from winning arguments to actually understanding and connecting with others. Fisher’s advice is clear and engaging. It feels like he’s speaking directly to you.

    I have always enjoyed Jefferson Fisher’s shorts on YouTube and Facebook. The things he says are practical into the point.

    We all can use more diplomacy in our life. This book helps you attain it.

    This book is totally worth a second read. And, it’s worth having someone you know. Read this as well and then practice the things that you’ve learned.

    Diese Buch ist wundervoll geschrieben und voll mit Tipps und ganz ganz vielen nützlichen Hinweisen für ein ehrliches und authentisches Gespräch. Es bringt Dich immer auf Augenhöhe mit Deinem Gesprächspartner, egal ob in der Beziehung, mit Kollegen oder im Freundeskreis. Es hilft einem die Schwierigkeiten in unausgeglichen Konversationen zu erkennen, zu verstehen und zu überwinden, so dass Dein nächstes Gespräch so funktioniert, wie Konversationen wirklich sein sollten. Jefferson ist so ehrlich und authentisch, es fühlt sich so an, als würde einer Deiner besten Freunde Dir helfen, damit Du Dein nächstes schwieriges Gespräch meistern kannst. Ich kann zu der gedruckten Version unbedingt das Audiobuch empfehlen. Es macht noch mal einen gewaltigen Unterschied, seine Ratschläge nur zu lesen oder sie tatsächlich auch zu hören. Schreibt Eure eigenen Notizen in die gedruckte Version und lauscht seinen wunderbaren Erzählungen in der Audioversion. Es lohnt sich. Der beste Buchkauf seit langem. Ich liebe es. Die Welt braucht mehr Jeffersons, damit wieder mehr miteinander geredet wird, statt nur argumentiert.

    What a beautiful book! My 12 year old loved it and asked every family member to read it.

    I couldn’t put the book down while reading it, it is a key to communicate, regardless of age. I am determined to communicate the way forward for my next conversation!

    Only disappointment is at the time when I purchased, no hardcover was available, so I paid full price for paperback, shortly afterwards, hardcover is available close to the price I paid and now paperback is at a large discount🤷‍♀️
