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!
