He guides us through his discoveries, showing how communication can be improved through learning to relate to the other person: listening with our eyes, looking for clues in another's face, using the power of a compelling story, avoiding jargon, and reading another person so well that you become "in sync" with them, and know what they are thinking and feeling--especially when you're talking about the hard stuff. Drawing on improvisation training, theater, and storytelling techniques from a life of acting, and with insights from recent scientific studies, Alda describes ways we can build empathy, nurture our innate mind-reading abilities, and improve the way we relate and talk with others. 541 $d 20170703. 650 0 $a Interpersonal communication. 650 7 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. 941 $a 3 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023022.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20200108011237.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20170923010259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79D4BF62A02411E7AB61790F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
