Book Details
Why can’t we just get along? Connecting: Life Skills for a Polarized World shows that basic skills employed by humans for millennia can bring us together today. Over time these fundamental concepts have developed complex languages and technology, but these gimmicks just make it harder to understand each other. Stripping away the baggage uncovers a commonsense approach that works across generations in a wide spectrum of situations, ranging from calm interactions to emotionally charged exchanges. Advanced degrees, big words, acronyms, or trendy technology are not needed to engender trust, foster teamwork, and live together constructively. Stories of life’s moments ranging from humble to remarkable bring home how everyone can improve their ability to engage in communication, constructive conflict, and productive confrontation and build relationships that bring together families, coworkers, and communities.
