Women and Men in Conversation
Deborah Tannen
This book, based on extensive research by sociolinguist Deborah Tannen, delves into the distinct ways men and women communicate. Tannen argues that men and women live in 'different worlds, made of different words,' which often leads to miscommunications. The book provides numerous examples of real conversations to illustrate these differences and offers insights into how men and women can better understand each other's communication styles to strengthen relationships at home and at work.
Dr. Matt Townsend continues to examine the Savior’s visit to the Americas and His example to minister one-by-one and the power of rituals for both communities and individuals.
