Are you concerned about divisiveness in our country? Do you wish you could talk to friends about politics and/or religions without arguing?
My book, HEALING AMERICA, teaches skills that help you share with others about what’s deeply important to you. Each chapter includes an explanation of concepts foundational to communication in a democracy. Not only that, but the chapters include:
a short quiz for comprehension,
a practice in using the concept, and
space to journal your experience and see the concept at work in your life.
Misbehavior
Sample from Chapter 1 of HEALING AMERICA by Rosemary B. Althoff, 2024
Power struggles.
Attention battles.
Revenge actions.
Passivity.
Exercise for Unconditional Love:
1. Think of one relationship you cherish. What mutual behaviors can you describe that give you peace and joy? Write them below.
2. Think of one relationship you would like to improve. Of the misbehaviors above, which are operating in your encounters with that person? Do not at this point try to fix the relationship. Merely observe.
