"I'm Just Saying by Milan Kordestani is an essential guide for effective, smooth and successful communication in today's times. One of the book's best parts, in my opinion, is the one dealing with active listening. By "active listening" the author means truly listening and understanding the meaning behind the speaker's words and not just hearing the words that are being spoken. Milan Kordestani provides one with some useful strategies for practicing good listening skills. I find it really excellent that every chapter ends with a section of questions and answers that summarize its contents. This book will be the turning point for you if you sincerely want to become a better communicator. An outstanding read."

“I didn’t expect for this book to make me laugh which it quickly proved wrong. There’s even a part on finding connection through humor discourse! I really connected with the section about lack of discourse in college(& how to encourage it!), studying our tone, practicing active listening and the human connection. I have social anxiety and this book was actually very helpful in making me want to go and have hard conversations with people. I like how this also examines where social media is coming into play.”
““I’m Just Saying” by Milan Kordestani hits close to home for me, as I spent a long time learning that there's a difference between a disagreement and an argument. I love that this book explains that you can disagree with someone and have an actual discussion without fighting. I don't think enough people understand this, and it is fracturing our world at a massive level.”
“This exceptional work invites readers to navigate discourse with grace, and in doing so, advocates for a more harmonious and united society.
