Book excerpt: In our complex, fast-paced world, the ability to communicate effectively has never been more essential, or more challenging. Technology allows us to reach a global audience instantly, yet risks distancing us from the nuances of face-to-face human connection. Demands on our time and attention relentlessly erode focus. Diverse perspectives are heard, yet people retreat further into confirmation bias bubbles. Mastering communication requires continuously relearning the timeless principles of truly listening, building trust, choosing words carefully, and relating to others with empathy and clarity. This book delves deeply into the psychology, neuroscience, and social dynamics that enable us to break down barriers and biases to forge mutual understanding. Drawing upon decades of research across fields including linguistics, behavioral economics, organizational leadership, and intercultural relations, I detail proven techniques to become an engaging storyteller, active listener, skilled negotiator, persuasive speaker, and open-minded global citizen. This 360 degree mastery of communication elevates everything from your dinner conversations, to managing teams, delivering dynamic presentations, resolving conflicts, persuading customers, and succeeding in our increasingly complex multicultural world. Apply the lessons in this book to enliven personal connections, accelerate your career, lead high-performing teams, and drive change. Turn molded, transactional communication into rich bonds of meaning that create significance and impact. By internalizing these philosophies, you will communicate better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than today. Join me on this profound journey of self-discovery, lifelong learning, and human connection.

Download or read book End of Life Communication written by Christine S. Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the dialectic between fictional death as depicted in the media and real death as it is experienced in a hospital setting. Using a Terror Management theoretical lens, Davis and Crane explore the intersections of life and death, experience and fiction, to understand the relationship between them. The authors use complementary perspectives to examine what it means when we speak and think of death as it is conceived in cultural media and as it is constructed by and circulates between patients, health professionals, and supportive family members and friends. Layering analysis with evocative narrative and an intimate tone, with characters, plot, and action that reflect the voices and experiences of all project participants, including the authors’ own, Davis and Crane reflect on what it means to pass away. Their medical humanities approach bridges health communication, cultural studies, and the arts to inform medical ethics and care.
