In 2007 I read Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott and remember being impressed with the knowledge imparted and trying to absorb and implement as many of the key points as I could into my day to day life. Not since reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie had I read a book that made an immediate impact on the way I communicate with others.

I noticed the author Susan Scott released a new book last year called Fierce Love - Creating a Love that Lasts, One Conversation at a Time and I was hopeful for a brand new set of skills I could incorporate into my life a mere 16 years later.

Choosing to listen to the audiobook narrated by the author herself, unfortunately Fierce Love didn't have anything new to teach or show me.

This time there were no breakthroughs, a-ha moments or epiphanies. I did really enjoy this reading highlight from Chapter 16 though when the author quotes from Robert Brault:

"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got." Chapter 16, It's Not You, It's Me

Despite that little nugget of insight which I definitely need to work on, I think I would have been better off with a re-read of the original - and easily the better - Fierce Conversations.

If you haven't read Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott, I recommend starting there for the greater reading experience.

Full disclosure: this was a mandatory read for all employees at my work.

It feels like the author thought of two catch phrases and wrote a book around them. There are lots of stories about the author being a successful "fierce" communicator, and lots of advice that is really just basic communication competency, like listening when someone is talking to you. Perhaps revelatory for CEOs and managers (the target demographic), but as an employee I found nothing useful here.

Fierce conversations are a philosophy or approach toward people, and the book addresses how to build solid relationships and success, 1 conversation at a time. You'll learn:
• The 4 objectives and 3 core ideas behind fierce conversations; and
• The 7 principles to start mastering fierce conversations personally and professionally: Have the courage to investigate reality, Stop hiding and start getting real, Be present (and nowhere else), Confront your toughest challenge now, Follow your Instincts, Take responsibility for your emotional wake, and Use silence purposefully.

This person writes at high school level with elementary school level concepts. If you get something out of this I feel both glad and sorry for you (not saying that to be mean...it is just that to go through life without even a primitive understanding of communication is a real shame).
