Being Relational

The Seven Ways to Quality Interaction and Lasting Change

By: Louise Senft, William Senft

Narrated by: Louise Senft, William Senft

Our world is a crowded and hyperconnected place, and it is becoming more crowded and hyperconnected every day. The challenges of our world call us to evolve as a species at a pace that has never been necessary before - not in our physical attributes, not in our emotional capacities, not in our mental capabilities, and arguably not even in our use of technology to master the environment and harness its resources. We are called to evolve in the ways that we interact with each other as fellow inhabitants of Earth.

Being Relational details seven ways of being in relation to others that capture the heart and soul of all that is self-help. It is grounded in method and is supported by relational conflict theory and brain science findings. The seven ways of being that promote quality face-to-face interactions and positive transformation are rooted in teachings from many sources - conflict resolution, negotiation ethics, neuroscience, multiple faith traditions and numerous popular self-help and business books. It is a unique collection of teachings that focus on what happens in human interaction. This unique approach is inspired by thousands of broken relationships that the Senfts have mediated and coached back to strength and connectedness over the last two decades.
