This book was a good reminder for me, as I have become very disengaged from the art of listening and courageously reaching out to others for conversation. I think it serves those of us who have "gotten off track" very well. More importantly, we have an entire generation coming up who have always lived with email, Smartphones, IM, social media, and the like. They've never truly learned the art of a good conversation because it hasn't been required of them to formally function in our society (yet). But the time will come when they must, and this book is a good tool in teaching the nuances of making real connection, not in a Miss Manners kind of way, but in an uplifting way, layered with the benefit of recognizing one another's inherent dignity and the spiritual value we need to rediscover in one another.
