What visitors and downloaders have said about the free e-book Contemplations on Communication and Conflict - a collection of 7 articles on conflict resolution and interpersonal communication and relationships:
"Thank you for sharing this e-book! Good, clear stories and plenty to think about. I especially liked texts about tolerance, competition and body language." KK - Finland
"Dear Alan, Today I read your e-book 'Contemplations on Communication and Conflict'. It provides so many ideas for personal growth that I can't wait to practice them. I consider the ideas that you describe as an inspiring opportunity to enhance my skills in Non Violent Communication.
Especially the article on body language touched me. I felt relieved reading your point of view on body language. It helps me to let go of perfectionism, both listening, being present in the moment, and also reading and scanning the other persons body language and also mastering my own body language is indeed 'a hell of a job'." Peter de Kock Holland
