How’s the quality of your life?

Are you as happy as you’d like to be? Feeling satisfied with your job?

Getting along well with family members? Experiencing serenity, at least some of the time? Do you think your life situation is contributing to your longevity or pushing you toward an early grave?

Nothing is more critical to the quality of our lives than our relationships, and nothing is more critical to our relationships than how we communicate.

U&ME: Communicating in Moments that Matter shows how to improve the quality of your life by improving your everyday communicating. In the first part of the book, you’ll learn the connection between effective communication and The Big Question, “What does it mean to be human?”

 Chapter 3 explains four differences between impersonal and interpersonal contacts, so you can make your communicating as personal as possible. The next seven chapters describe how to improve your texting, emailing, meeting management, and mentoring, your dating and parenting, your relationship with your spouse, your work projects, and your political communicating. The concepts in U&ME are research-based, and the dozens of practical skills have been tested by thousands of spouses, parents, students, managers, teachers, and religious leaders.
