The Art of Communicating
The Art of Communicating | Thich Nhat Hanh
Despite all of our best intentions, communication is still a challenge for most of us. How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear? How can we learn to listen with compassion and understanding? Why do people communicate so differently and how can we reach across our differences to strengthen our relationships? Using examples from his own experience working with couples, families, workplace colleagues, and international conflicts, celebrated spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh reveals five steps to truly mindful communication. By focusing on concrete and accessible practices, The Art of Communicating provides the key to communicating with yourself, loved ones, colleagues and new acquaintances more effectively, with kindness and mindfulness. There is a saying in Vietnamese, It doesnt cost anything to have loving speech. We only need to choose our words carefully, and we can make other people happy. To use words mindfully, with loving kindness, is to practice generosity. We can make many people happy just by practicing loving speech. - Thich Nhat Hanh

I did some #audioknitting earlier. Charlie‘s new sweater is almost done! The lace isn‘t as impressive laid flat like this, but I think it‘ll look lovely once she‘s got it on.

It was nice to absorb THE ART OF COMMUNICATING while I worked, too. So many of these ideas feel familiar because I‘ve already seen them in action—from an older cousin who was a Catholic nun. Further proof that Thich Nhat Hahn‘s books are relevant to people of all faiths.

ljuliel Isn‘t that pretty. You‘re very talented ! 5y
xicanti @ljuliel thank you! I combined a lace pattern I discovered in a knitting book with a standard dog sweater pattern, and it‘s worked out well. 5y

“There is a Buddha inside each of us. ‘The Buddha‘ is just a name for the most understanding and compassionate person it‘s possible to be. You may call it something else if you wish, like wisdom or God. We can breathe, smile, and walk in such a way that this person in us has a chance to manifest.”

Getting in some pre-bedtime reading while I recover from what felt like a super-long day. I‘ll be answering tags and comments again tomorrow! 💖
