One of the best personal communication texts I have seen, especially for a broad, skills-based course. The writing is relatable, manageable, and clear for students--it is remarkable in its ability to apply ideas in ways that are easy to understand. The exercises are well-written. Stressing the need to cultivate, respect, and value others as well as ourselves, this text provides a straightforward guide on how to develop a caring approach to communication in order to build and sustain better relationships. The Art of Communication will resonate with students and teachers alike, stimulating a passion for being in relationship with others. Fujishin has a beautiful way of speaking to the heart, and his message continually inspires me to work on being the best rendition of myself. His conversational and relational approach to writing makes learning the life skills within this book a joy. I highly recommend it.
