Personal Development
Death. Sex. Money. Tricky subjects we're taught to avoid in polite conversation. But if they're so unpleasant, why do so many people tune in regularly to hear Anna Sale asking perfect strangers about them? What if, rather than declaring them off-limits, we could all benefit from discussing them more? In Let's Talk About Hard Things, Sale — the host of cult podcast Death, Sex amp; Money, which tackles life's hard questions — takes her quest for more honest communication into her own life. She considers her history of facing (and sometimes avoiding) difficult subjects, both personal and cultural; she reflects on race, wealth, inequality, love, grief, death, power — all the things that shape our daily lives, the things we should be talking about, but often struggle to. She tracks down people whose stories best illuminate the transformative power of tough conversations, and offers, with her trademark empathy and insight, different ways of approaching these tricky topics with family, friends, loved ones, and strangers alike. Part treatise, part how-to, and part memoir, Let's Talk About Hard Things is candid, unflinching, and entertaining in its quest to make everyone more comfortable with the uncomfortable realities of life.

This book talks about dealing with hard things in life. It’s more about dealing with your mind rather than a structured process., both have its importance anyway.The author covers a lot of stories around the 5 topics of hard things and sort of concludes that hearing more and talking about hard things resolves hard things. Though I don’t totally agree, it certainly helps in navigating them a bit. I could not relate to the last part about ‘identity’ though. Good book, very well written.
