This book shows you how.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIn our fast-paced, tech-obsessed lives, rarely do we pay genuine, close attention to one another. With all that's going on in the world, and the never-ending demands of our daily lives, most of us are too stressed and preoccupied with our own thoughts and worries to be able to really listen to each other for long. Often, we seem to somehow \"miss\" each other, misunderstand each other, or talk past each other. Our ability to tune in to ourselves and to others seems to be withering. Many of us are left wishing for someone who could really listen, understand, and genuinely connect with us.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMissing Each Other, \u003c\/i\u003e researchers and clinicians Edward Brodkin and Ashley Pallathra argue that we must find the ability to be in tune with each other again, and they show us how. Based on years of research that they conducted together in a National Institutes of Mental Health-funded clinical study, the authors take a wide-ranging and surprising journey through fields as diverse as social neuroscience and autism research, music performance, pro basketball, and tai chi. They use these stories to introduce the four principal components of attunement: Relaxed Awareness, Listening, Understanding, and Mutual Responsiveness--explaining the science, research, and biology underlying these pillars of human connection, but also providing readers with exercises through which they can improve their own skills and abilities in each.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541774018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256","brand":"Edward Brodkin, Ashley Pallathra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38028073992373,"sku":"9781541774018","price":23.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f8e1110b-1cf2-4b68-91a5-2e2d0a5638c8.jpg?v=1609194475","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/missing-each-other-how-to-cultivate-meaningful-connections-9781541774018","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
