Communicating Across the Divides In Our Everyday Lives

A psychological field manual for constructive dialogue about social and environmental concerns and the progress of civilization. Why is it that some people don't seem to understand the urgency of the challenges we face? Why is it sometimes so difficult to talk with them in ways that might lead to collaborative solutions? This book offers a fresh perspective on some of the psychological factors affecting our attempts to communicate with people we know about issues that concern us - such as where we're headed as a global civilization.
