<p>Have you ever said something with pure intentions that came across negatively? Have you ever misunderstood a comment? Did you get defensive and react?</p><p><br></p><p>Most people don't intend to miscommunicate or offend, however, it happens. It causes big problems because what you say and how you interpret what others say to you relates to your own experiences. No one communicates perfectly, but questions help you gain understanding of yourself, your circumstances, and those with whom you have relationships. These relationships improve when there is greater understanding between the individuals. Learn what impedes your ability to understand and communicate effectively and how questions</p><p>can be the answer in your relationships, starting today.</p><p><br></p><p>"As a psychologist and family therapist, I've read many books on communication in families and couples. Often these are aimed to teach family members or spouses skills. Most of these skill-based books are mind-numbingly repetitive. Dr. Randy Johnson takes a novel and brilliant approach. Instead of trying to teach us how, he suggests we use questions as a foundation of effective communication. He activates curiosity as a way to help couples and family members to communicate better and invite more helpful communication from their</p><p>loved ones. Could questions be the answer? That's something you will have to answer for yourself. Read this book with a questioning mind, and it's likely this book will help!"</p><p><br></p><p>-Dr. Jeff Chang, Registered Psychologist,</p><p>Associate Professor, Athabasca University</p>
