MASH was a show that I watched over and over and over, from when it first aired on TV to the days of syndication and Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce was always my favorite character. I saw Scientific American Frontiers only a few times a year starting in 1990 when it first aired and only when I came home for the Christmas holiday from South Korea. This book, is about communication, understanding and empathy and about ways to make a connection between yourself and your audience, something that not only scientists have trouble with, but people like you and me too. It is very good and I enjoyed reading it because Alan Alda writes like he speaks which, for me, allowed me to hear his voice in my head every time I picked up the book. I found it enlightening and I especially enjoyed the chapters on how beneficial improvisational stage-acting techniques were in educating people how to communicate better with one another. I picked up more than I couple of things that I felt I could use to get over some of my social phobias and overall it was just a really good book. I would like to thank the author and Random House Publishing for sending me this complimentary edition for a good read and a fair review. ( ) DarrinLett | Aug 14, 2022 | ) ReadMeAnother | Mar 21, 2022 | I loved this so much. Alda has a conversational way of writing that is engaging and easy to read. He showcases the exact things he is talking about by using prolific stories to make his point and using the storytelling arc over the entire book. He talks a lot about empathy - which I really appreciated as it's something I've been saying is vital to good communication my entire career but I hadn't felt like other people really got it the same way. So maybe part of the five star rating is just me finally feeling vindicated. I had been asked to give a training last week on communication and I had already planned to incorporate improv exercises into it before reading Alda's book. But this book cemented that. And I saw first hand how improv helped my group actualize the communication principles I had just taught them, while making them laugh and have fun.

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? Award-winning actor Alan Alda tells the fascinating story of his quest to learn how to communicate better, and to teach others to do the same. With his trademark humor and candor, he explores how to develop empathy as the key factor. ??Invaluable.???Deborah Tannen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of You??re the Only One I Can Tell and You Just Don??t Understand Alan Alda has been on a decades-long journey to discover new ways to help people communicate and relate to one another more effectively. If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? is the warm, witty, and informative chronicle of how Alda found inspiration in everything from cutting-edge science to classic acting methods. His search began when he was host of PBS??s Scientific American Frontiers, where he interviewed thousands of scientists and developed a knack for helping them communicate complex ideas in ways a wide audience could understand??and Alda wondered if those techniques held a clue to better communication for the rest of us. In his wry and wise voice, Alda reflects on moments of miscommunication in his own life, when an absence of understanding resulted in problems both big and small. He guides us through his discoveries, showing how communication can be improved through learning to relate to the other person: listening with our eyes, looking for clues in another??s face, using the power of a compelling story, avoiding jargon, and reading another person so well that you become ??in sync? with them, and know what they are thinking and feeling??especially when you??re talking about the hard stuff. Drawing on improvisation training, theater, and storytelling techniques from a life of acting, and with insights from recent scientific studies, Alda describes ways we can build empathy, nurture our innate mind-reading abilities, and improve the way we relate and talk with others. Exploring empathy-boosting games and exercises, If I Understood You is a funny, thought-provoking guide that can be used by all of us, in every aspect of our lives??with our friends, lovers, and families, with our doctors, in business settings, and beyond. ??Alda uses his trademark humor and a well-honed ability to get to the point, to help us all learn how to leverage the better communicator inside each of us.???Forbes ??Alda, with his laudable curiosity, has learned somethi Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
