The
Reluctant Writing of “Why Don’t We Listen Better?:
Communicating and Connecting in Relationships” Dr. Jim Petersen, professional
counselor, fisherman, workshop leader, and retired pastor, distilled
more than forty years of experience in interpersonal relationships,
teaching, and counseling into an informal, often humorous volume loaded
with practical tips, examples, and techniques to help you improve your
Communicating & Connecting in Relationships (the subtitle).
He’ll describe how he created the ideas in the book, tested
them, wrote them, and published the book, fighting avoidance all the
way. He’ll highlight our
culture’s courtroom-like communication. His tongue-in-cheek Flat Brain
Theory shows how we get upset and confused and what to do about it.
Would you like to end arguing as you know it? His Talker-Listener Card
can help. Thirty listening techniques will start improving your
relationships. The book provides creative ways to handle daily
interactions and difficult situations, like anger, grief, and conflict.
His Dinner Table Game can change a families’ communication. “Good communication uses the same skills in a professional office, on a date, in a corporate board room, or at a kitchen table,” says Jim. This book can help you gain these skills and deepen your relationships.
