For decades psychologists and therapists have known the value of simply talking, yet people still underestimate the power of conversations. In this book the author provides an expert and compelling insight into conversation, ably and seamlessly linking theory to practice, making the complex easily accessible and inspiring readers. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the power of conversations.
