About this listen
Good communiation is essential to any healthy relationship, whether it's between spouses, family members, friends, or co-workers. In this book Susan Chapman, a marriage and family therapist and a longtime meditation teacher, explains how mindfulness can be brought to bear in the way we speak and listen to each other so that we can strengthen our connections and better accomplish our goals. Drawing on Buddhist principles and on her training as a psychotherapist, Chapman explains how the practice of mindfulness - learning to become fully present in the moment - makes it possible for us to listen more deeply to others and to develop greater clarity and confidence about how to respond.
Chapman highlights five key elements of mindful communication: silence, mirroring, encouraging, discerning, and responding, and she dedicates a chapter of the book to each. Other topics include identifying your communication patterns and habits; uncovering the hidden fears that often sabotage communication; staying open in the midst of difficult conversations so that we can respond wisely and skillfully; and learning how mindful communication can help us to become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships.

A great way to understand emotions
I liked the stop lights analogy for understanding the range of emotions we go through, and how to use them to better navigate our way to emotional intelligence

Very good tips and well written
Practical tips to improve communication and also developing deeper understanding of others and oneself. I liked the links to Buddhist practice while also making this book accessible to those who are not Buddhist. Easy to follow and great real life examples to help the listener understand the different parts that make up mindful communication.

This should be taught in school
I took away so much from this book. It's easier to digest in audio.

Life changing
All the things I needed to hear exactly when I needed to hear them.
I’ve just finished the book and have already taken on board some key points.
One small step toward changing for the better.
Thankyou
