#RealCommunicationNeeded

As our use of technology has increased, our communication skills have decreased. We text when we should talk. We tweet firings and breakups. Technology creates the illusion of being in touch, but we lose the deeper meaning conveyed by body language, facial expression, and tone of voice. What we need are real, face-to-face conversations. Have we lost that art?
Whether it's with a spouse, a friend, a boss, a co-worker, or children, tough conversations can create high anxiety. Communication expert Mike Bechtle offers practical help. He shows readers how to build strong relationships and teaches tried-and-true methods to navigate the muddy waters of tough conversations. Readers learn to be better listeners, give and receive genuine feedback, saturate their relationships with kindness, and much more. With the right skills and tools, anyone can feel more confident handling a tough conversation.

An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present

For more than four hundred years, the personalnbsp;nbsp;essay has been one of the richest and most vibrantnbsp;nbsp;of all literary forms. Distinguished from thenbsp;nbsp;detached formal essay by its friendly, conversationalnbsp;nbsp;tone, its loose structure, and its drive towardnbsp;nbsp;candor and self-disclosure, the personal essaynbsp;nbsp;seizes on the minutiae of daily life-vanities,nbsp;nbsp;fashions, foibles, oddballs, seasonal rituals, love andnbsp;nbsp;disappointment, the pleasures of solitude,nbsp;nbsp;reading, taking a walk -- to offer insight into thenbsp;nbsp;human condition and the great social and politicalnbsp;nbsp;issues of the day. The Art of the Personal Essay isnbsp;nbsp;the first anthology to celebrate this fertilenbsp;nbsp;genre. By presenting more than seventy-five personalnbsp;nbsp;essays, including influential forerunners fromnbsp;nbsp;ancient Greece, Rome, and the Far East,nbsp;nbsp;masterpieces from the dawn of the personal essay in thenbsp;nbsp;sixteenth century, and a wealth of the finestnbsp;nbsp;personal essays from the last four centuries, editornbsp;nbsp;Phillip Lopate, himself an acclaimed essayist,nbsp;nbsp;displays the tradition of the personal essay in allnbsp;nbsp;its historical grandeur, depth, andnbsp;nbsp;diversity.
