Abstract:
"...'Conscious Communication' makes a remarkably simple observation about this seemingly hopeless problem--when we try to settle disagreements by deciding who is right and who is wrong, we unknowingly create more conflict. Instead of resolving issues, this reflex of judging each other increases opposition and perpetuates struggles between us that undermine our basic need for connection and support..."--p.[4] of cover.
