About the forthcoming book, Mindful Conversation: Connect, Express, Thrive.

Everyone talks, but relatively few engage in conversation. Fewer still create “Mindful Conversation.” But so many of us yearn for it, seeking to connect with one another, with ourselves and with our common humanity.

In this polarized world, we are more networked and yet more isolated than ever. Conversation is the secret sauce that makes networks and relationships work. Too much talk consists of stunted, unsatisfying “serial monologues.” To find satisfaction as individuals and to survive as a diverse, democratic society, we need to rediscover the art of Mindful Conversation. That is the subject of this web site, and of my forthcoming book.

MINDFUL CONVERSATION a unique book, combining personal story, theory, inspiration, humor and practical self-help.
