Redesigning Conversations: A Guide to Communicating Effectively in the Family, Workplace, and Society is a work of non-fiction examining the nature of communication in the modern world. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience and was penned by Bill Ash. Conversations and the way we communicate have changed radically due to technology and the global crisis. Ash offers practical and useful insights into getting important conversations going with the people who matter to you. Whether it is voicing mental health concerns in the workplace, discussing identity and self-expression at home, or dealing with advice and guidance from others, this book is a fantastic primer on modern conversation, openness, and practicality.
Bill Ash makes this work something special by sharing his personal life stories, anecdotes and the lessons learned along the way. I felt as though I was in the presence of a trusted friend during the reading experience, and one whose extensive life experience offers much gravitas to the ideas that are presented, but never in a pushy way. I really got into the ideas concerning re-authoring ourselves and testing our own opinions, which is a branch of self-awareness that is so often overlooked. It was explained in such accessible terms that it became easier to see its value and how best to approach it. The work is superbly well organized to give a logical flow to the concepts as they build upon each other, but you can also jump back into any section you found handy and revisit it. I know I’ll be doing that often in the coming months. Redesigning Conversations is a wonderful tool for utilizing communication to improve so many facets of our lives, and I would highly recommend it.
