John Stewart
Bridging divides through empathy and honest conversation.
Books and ideas on interpersonal communication, the philosophy of language, and dismantling racism one conversation at a time, from a professor who spent thirty-two years teaching people how to connect.
A word from John
The quality of your life is directly related to the quality of your communication.
For more than three decades I studied how people connect in families, friendships, dating relationships, and work groups, and I taught what I learned to students, professionals, and community groups. My books share one conviction: nothing matters more to your relationships than how you listen and talk.
