Never has communication been more important - and never have we seen more clearly the devastating effects of a world based on shouting and judging. Effective communication re- quires conscious speaking and conscious listening, two skills that fashion our outcomes in life and that anchor both civil society and family relationships - but that are not taught in school. This book is about the why of communication, as Da- vid makes an incontrovertible case for what he calls uncondi- tional communication - in essence, a process of giving rather than grasping. We need this book! Julian Treasure, author of How To Be Heard and five-time TED speaker David has written such a beautiful book. If ever you've been in unconditional communication you'll know what he's talking about and you'll want to be there whenever possible. If not, then read this. Actually, either way you should read this. It may be about letting go, though it may be more about letting be. Plus it features a story about a skip near Newcastle that can never be bettered. Neil Mullarkey, Founder of London's Comedy Store Players and author of Seven Steps to Improve Your People Skills This book helped me remember that my intention has been always to put my best to serving others, but sometimes I forgot why. Unconditional Communication is the elbow on the ribs needed to remember that we can be of value to others without having to learn something new, but by untapping the love that is already inside us, and open up to co-create the world we want.
