The Thin Book of Trust
by Charles Feltman
Feltman's very short book defining trust as four assessments, sincerity, reliability, competence and care, and how to build, repair and talk about each. Used widely in coaching; the best quick read on the subject.
Read it if…
you need to repair trust with someone and want precise language.

Skip it if…
you want depth; it is under 100 pages.
Try instead: The Decision to Trust →
Three things you will actually use
- Trust is four distinct assessments.
- Name the specific breach.
- Care is the hardest to fake.
Do this first
Name which of the four assessments has been broken in a strained relationship.
Our verdict
Thin, precise, useful.
