The Tao of Dialogue: A Manual of Dialogic Communication

The true art of dialogue has been largely lost by a culture that races toward solutions without first defining the problem, or exploring the alternatives. In The Tao of Dialogue, Doug Ross explores this ancient art, recently revitalized by intellectual giant, David Bohm. According to Ross, dialogue is a process of co-creation in which a group allows for free flow of thoughts, exploration of meaning, examination of hidden assumptions, suspension of judgment, deep reflection, intense listening, and the establishment of community problem-solving.Dialogue as a process can be used from boardrooms to classrooms, and presents new and exciting alternatives to wornout and overused traditional approaches to communication.
