In this complementary workbook to How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt give applicable tips on how to have Safe Conversations with everyone.

For centuries, our methods of communication have resulted in disagreement, which has led to frustration, anxiety, and anger. Conversations have become angry, anxious ones. We see polarization not only in our personal lives and work environment, but certainly in the political arena. Clearly, the world needs a new communication method so people can talk to each other successfully.

In the How to Talk with Anyone about Anything workbook, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of Safe Conversations and four skills that are structured and teachable:

Dialogue: practice shifting from monologue to dialogue to foster safety and collaborationA commitment to zero negativity: convert frustrations into requests by focusing on what they should do, and not on what they shouldn't doDeveloping empathy for one another: shift from criticizing by accept one another's different perspectivesAffirmations: transform conflict to connection by using "affirmation" more often in a relationship

How to Talk with Anyone about Anything offers the keys to unlocking your ability to communicate with others in a new and profoundly different way. And as more of us hone that ability, together, we can bring about a shift in society away from polarization and toward true connection.

This workbook is not a stand-alone product. How to Talk with Anyone about Anything is needed for the complete experience.
