Description
Bridging both theory and practice, this book introduces students to Julien C. Mirivel's model of positive communication, an inspiring framework that has been shown to improve the way people communicate at home and at work.
The second edition offers expanded student engagement features, including new guided reflection exercises, research experiments, and meaningful self-assessments. The new edition also covers communication concepts such as resilience theory and computer-mediated communication, and effectively guides students to build their communication skills across their lifespan. This book is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in interpersonal communication courses and as a supplemental text to inspire all students to communicate better.
