In ‘Mindful communiceren’ laat psycholoog Susan Chapman helder zien hoe we stilte, vertrouwen, vragen en antwoorden kunnen gebruiken om met meer diepgang te communiceren. Goede communicatie is immers essentieel voor een gezonde relatie tussen partners, familieleden, vrienden en collega’s. Mindfulness is een krachtig hulpmiddel om die communicatie te verbeteren en compassievol met anderen om te gaan. Mindfulness verandert namelijk de manier waarop we spreken en luisteren, verstevigt onderlinge banden en helpt doelen te bereiken. ‘In een speelse, bijna verleidelijke stijl opent Susan Chapman de weg naar een krachtige en zachtmoedige communicatie.’ – Wibo Koole, auteur van ‘Mindful werken’, mindfulnesstrainer en management consultant

Good communication is essential to any healthy relationship, whether it’s between spouses, family members, friends, or co-workers, and mindfulness—the practice of nonjudgmental awareness—can help us communicate more effectively and meaningfully with others in our personal and professional lives. Here, Susan Chapman, a psychotherapist and long-time Buddhist practitioner, explains how the practice of mindfulness awareness can change the way we speak and listen, enhance our relationships, and help us achieve our goals. Chapman highlights five key elements of mindful communication—silence, mirroring, encouraging, discerning, and responding—that make it possible for us to listen more deeply to others and to develop greater clarity and confidence about how to respond. Other topics include • identifying your communication patterns and habits; • uncovering the hidden fears that often sabotage communication; • staying open in the midst of difficult conversations so that we can respond wisely and skillfully; • and learning how mindful communication can help us to become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships.

Like many Sun Belt cities, Fort Lauderdale has experienced phenomenal growth over the past several decades. Once a wilderness home for the Seminole Indians and a few hardy pioneers, the small community grew up around Frank Stranahan's successful trading post, a convenient stop for hunters, fishermen, and sightseers preparing to head into the Everglades. But much more was in store for this rugged outback camp. Surveying Fort Lauderdale's fascinating history chronologically, this pictorial retrospective begins with the 1890s, a time when this part of the country was still part of America's frontier, isolated and wild. With the coming of the railroad and the twentieth century, an agricultural economy developed, and, soon, the Florida land boom would bring thousands of new settlers to the area. Fort Lauderdale's glistening beaches and comfortable climate earned the city an early reputation as a tourist town and, eventually, as a Spring Break mecca.
