      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      To be effective communicators, we must first be present. We must listen intently and navigate conversation’s inevitable turns.

      #2

      Communication is key to a healthy and beneficial relationship, and this holds true for marriage as well.

      #3

      The author was raised in a household where arguing was a way of life. He had to learn how to communicate in order to survive and be accepted by his family.

      #4

      We can see this in the simplest of instances. If we’re not paying attention to what someone is saying to us, we’re not going to understand what they’re saying.

      #5

      The human voice is particularly tuned to the human brain, which has a difficult time distinguishing between a friend and an enemy.

      #6

      When it comes to communication, there are so many different layers and components that go into every single exchange that it is no wonder our communication can be so intense and personal.

      #10

      A fundamental aspect of working towards changing the systems we interact with is working on changing our own perception and thought patterns.

      #11

      We often aren’t here; we're disconnected from our senses and the present moment. Our attention is elsewhere, planning the past or the future, remembering or regretting.

      #12

      Mindfulness allows us to enjoy the beauty of a sunset, the wonder of an old tree, and the mystery and delight of human intimacy. It makes us wholeheartedly present in the present moment.

      #13

      Mindful presence is the first step towards effective conversations. It is a rich
