The Art of Communicating

Thich Nhat Hanh

THE TIMELESS, LIFE-CHANGING BESTSELLER - Definitively discover the key to lasting relationships and happiness through mastering life's most important skill

"Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth." --His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Communication eternally binds us, in relationships with lovers, friends, and family, at work, and in our everyday interactions. Yet many of us feel lonelier and more disconnected than ever. We struggle to convey our needs, establish boundaries, and best represent our true selves. What if a few simple, mindful changes to our communication styles can lead to the healthiest and most secure connections we've ever experienced?

Now it can. In this precise, practical, and spiritual guide, Zen master, Buddhist monk, and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Thich Nhat Hanh journeys us on a lasting path forward--one that reveals how to listen mindfully and express yourself with conviction, confidence, and above all, compassion. With examples from Hanh's work with couples, families, and international conflicts, The Art of Communicating pushes us to ask the most critical questions, such as:

- How can we listen with empathy and understanding?

- How can we resolve conflict in a way that is mutually beneficial?

- How can finally understanding and learning from our past help shape our future?

- How can the "6 Mantras of Loving Speech" effectively transform the way we connect with others, and ourselves?

The Art of Communicating helps us move beyond the perils and frustrations of misrepresentation and misunderstanding to learn the listening and speaking skills that will forever change how we experience and impact the world.
