GSHU 199.09 Building Your Life on Purpose: Tools for Holistic Health and Flourishing (Wall)

It's time for a conversation revival! Conversation is getting harder. We're feeling more isolated. Loneliness is becoming an epidemic. Professor Holleman often fields questions like: How can I foster meaningful connection with others? Why doesn't anyone ever ask meaningful questions? If my personal happiness depends upon having warm relationships--like all the research shows--how can I become a better conversationalist and create connection? Can you relate? Are you longing for loving, meaningful, and joyful conversations? For practical skills to connect with others? Heather invites us to reimagine better conversations. Her work demonstrates how we can develop authentic community by changing our relational mindsets to become more curious, to believe the best about others, to express concern about their lives, and to share our own.

The author continues the account of her personal spiritual journey while exploring the sacred in everyday life, describing how to render a typical routine more relevant and sharing recommendations for intensive prayer and meditation.
