Putting appreciation into practice

Appreciation may be the most important ingredient in successful relationships, at home, at school and in a team. Gottfried Orth shows you that appreciation is not a technique, but an attitude. And it begins with you. Only when you appreciate yourself can you truly see others, regardless of what they achieve, whether they are strong or vulnerable at that moment, or whether they have a great deal or very little.

After an introduction to Nonviolent Communication, Orth takes you to the places where appreciation becomes tangible: family, partnership, school and the workplace, extending as far as appreciative organisational development. Numerous exercises invite you not only to understand this attitude, but to live it step by step.

A book for anyone who senses that attitude is what matters.
