“How To Tell Somebody Something They’d Rather Not Hear” offers a simple formula for managing these difficult interactions. With it, you can express your feelings in the moment in a way that the other person can hear.

Whether you are speaking with a friend, family member, colleague or a stranger, you can be honest, even when saying something they might not want to hear. Your concern may be simple, like dirty dishes in the sink or somebody cutting ahead of you in a checkout line, or serious, like dishonesty, drinking or other drug use, even violence in relationships.
