Unlock the secret to true and lasting change We all spend a huge amount of time trying to get people to listen to us, and despite our best efforts, we often fail. But what if the secret to influencing others was in first accepting them?This is known as validation: the communication that one is mindful, understands, and empathises with another person's experience, accepting it as valid. As both a means and an end, validation has profound effects - from improving our relationships and de-escalating conflict, to increasing our ability to drive change and influence growth in others and ourselves. In this groundbreaking book, Stanford University psychologist Caroline Fleck explains how and why validation is a catalyst for transformation, while taking us step-by-step through the eight skills we can use to communicate it. With practice, these skills become a way of life, helping us to focus on the possibilities that unfold when we see ourselves and others for who we really are.

'Mark Watson is a national treasure' Richard OsmanWhatever I now know about life - or think I know - I found out through failure, disappointment, mortification. I'm writing it all down as much to remind myself as for anyone else - but now you're here, I'd love you to stick around . . .Mark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet he's died many times. Not just on stage - though he'll tell you about that - but in other ways, too. There's been the death of a childhood dream. The death of his panel-show career. And then there was the time he died inside and nearly lost it all . . .Eye-opening, revealing and painfully funny, this is a book about mortification, failure and all the times life doesn't work out as planned. But it also wisely questions whether the things we strive for - recognition, success, the approval of others - are really the things that matter. It's a book about death that reminds us how to live.'Mark Watson makes the base metal of failure into comedy gold' Adam Kay
