Publisher's summary

An instruction manual for clear communication.

The most well-known Buddhist teachers on the planet all have something in common: they are excellent communicators. This is not by accident, as the Buddha taught what are called the four elements of right speech over 2,600 years ago.

In this one-of-a-kind book, certified meditation and mindfulness instructor Cynthia Kane has taken the four elements of right speech and developed them into a modern practice based on mindful listening, mindful speech, and mindful silence.

Beginning with an illuminating self-test to assess your current communication style, this book will take you through the author's own five-step practice, which is designed to help you:

  • Listen to yourself (your internal and external words)
  • Listen to others
  • Speak consciously, concisely, and clearly
  • Regard silence as a part of speech
  • Meditate to enhance your communication skills

If you have ever felt misheard, have trouble stating how you feel, or long to have more meaningful and genuine conversations, this book can help. The simple steps outlined in this book will have a huge effect on how you communicate with others and yourself.

Communication is essential to being human, and when you become better at it, your personal truth becomes clearer, your relationships improve, and the result is that you experience more peace and harmony in your life.

Fantastic!!!

Great lessons, A book I will read over & over again. Highly recommended for especially those who interrupt, talk loud, don’t listen very well, talk about themselves all the time. Teaches how to respond and how to think before you speak. Can help improve your relationships & all areas of your life when communicating. It even teaches how to talk & communicate to your own self within.
I loved it! This is a keeper.

Excellent info, well presented

Listen to the sample to see if the whispered delivery syncs with your vibration. It was okay by me. Even more, I liked the message.

Excellent!!!

I found Cynthia on DailyOM she has a course online "how to communicate like a Buddhist" and love it. Then I found out she wrote a book, so bought the audio. I would have preferred Cynthia reading I always feel the people who aren't the author sound like robots. Overall I loved it and will listen to it again.

Who would've known!

I never realized that most if not all of my problems came from not knowing how to communicate with others, wonderful book.
