Misunderstandings, crossed wires, mismatched agendas,
conversational detours, dead ends, and pileups . . .      
How can we communicate more effectively? More masterfully?
The Fifth Wave takes a gestalt view
of interpersonal communication as
a “system of systems.” It guides
readers through the five
interconnected networks that build
from within to the world at large:

  • Self
  • Home
  • Friendships
  • Work
  • The World

As readers take this journey from
the micro to the macro, they
discover how—like dropping a
pebble into a pond—the smallest
positive action can effect powerful
changes in their own lives and in the
world.

In addition to time-tested strategies
for improving communication,
The
Fifth Wave
offers the following:
  • Principles of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) that can
    dramatically boost clarity
  • Candid, verbatim interviews with men and women who volunteered to
    share their communication disasters and successes
  • Discussion questions and exercises in each chapter
  • 365 Skill Builders—“Nutshell” meditations, one for each day of the
    year, that help to deepen the skills
WARNING: Communication disaster ahead!
