Conscious Language by Robert Tennyson Stevens, however, has me hooked.
If I was asked to recommend one read for everyone, this book is it! We rarely realize how powerful our own language is--to ourselves and others. After reading Conscious Language, you'll definitely see how "word detox" is detrimental for mind and body alike.
The corners on my copy are badly bent but in a good way.
This is going on my reading list for next month, when we tackle LOVE. B & I rarely fight, but when we do it is big and nasty and it always, ALWAYS stems from miscommunication. It is usually started from inarticulation on my part that he then misinterprets. Only after heated words have been exchanged and feelings hurt, does he realize my (usually innocent) intent and life is good again. I think I could learn a lot from Conscious Language.
ReplyDeleteI kind of have anxiety about next month's topic - yet it is completely needed!
