    Mindfulness For Difficult Conversations

    Dear friends,

    We spend so much of our lives talking to each other, but how much are we simply running on automatic—relying on old habits and hoping for the best? Are we able to truly hear others and speak our mind in a clear and kind way, without needing to get defensive or go on the attack?

    The techniques in my friend Oren Sofer’s new book Say What You Mean will help you to:

    • Feel confident during conversation
    • Stay focused on what really matters in an interaction
    • Listen for the authentic concerns behind what others say
    • Reduce anxiety before and during difficult conversations
    • Find nourishment in day-to-day interactions

    “With clarity and great insight, Oren Jay Sofer offers teachings and practices that train us to speak and listen with presence, courage and an open heart.”  — Tara Brach, author of True Refuge and Radical Acceptance

    “This tremendous book addresses one of the biggest challenges in any relationship: how to combine heart with strength, compassion with assertiveness. If I had just one book to recommend about interpersonal communication, it would be this one.” — Rick Hanson, PhD author of Hardwiring Happiness

    When you pre-order his book, you’ll also receive:- Free access to Oren’s courses on 10% Happier- 12-part email series on communication- Bonus guided meditations- Advance download of first chapter
