The Third Perspective - Brave Expression in the Age of Intolerance - E-book - ePub

In our deeply divided, binary world, honest discussion is stressful for all sides. International thought leader Africa Brooke says there is another way: the Third Perspective.  In this manifesto, Africa teaches us how to return to critical thinking and reduce societal divides by opening our minds and being more self-questioning in difficult discussions. This book will help you figure out what you truly believe-as opposed to parroting or having knee-jerk reactions in conversation.
You'll learn to share your views, hear theirs, make a point you feel must be made, and try to find common ground without self-censorship or self-sabotage. This personal guide helps readers move away from rigid thinking, allowing them to enter any potentially difficult discussion about politics, work, personal responsibility, race, sex, gender, religion - whatever the subject - while maintaining integrity, authenticity, and openness, and successfully expressing opinions while listening to contrary points of view.  Africa has built a successful business coaching an exclusive roster of high-profile clients seeking to handle themselves in the public eye.
The tools offered in The Third Perspective have been honed over years of that experience: hers is a proven system that works. She offers readers a new path for communication, and because communication is everything, critical to building trust and fruitful relationships, a life transforming experience.   Africa Brooke's framework has three pillars-Awareness, Responsibility, and Expression-that ask: what is stopping you from speaking your mind, what do you stand for, what are you willing to risk?
