What happens when you learn to communicate better with everyone? No doubt you’ve had to endure a painfully awkward conversation, more than once in your life. Maybe it was a stranger, a colleague, or a date. Maybe it was a group discussion. You found yourself breaking a sweat, not knowing what to say. The more time passed, the more tense you became. You thought about all the communication books you’ve read in your life and wished you had them with you…to knock yourself unconscious as a way out of the conversation. The best thing about the whole situation was the moment it ended.

This book is for the person who woke up this morning, made coffee, and got on with it — while managing a major life transition, a career in flux, a child who needs more than you expected, a project that keeps going, or a world that demands more than it used to.

Life-Coach Frauke Arnold addresses five of the heaviest chapters a life can hold: rebuilding after a major life change, starting over in midlife, finishing long creative projects, raising children in demanding times, and finding meaning when the future feels uncertain.

While it’s often said we are a storytelling species, the deeper and more enabling truth is that we are a questioning species. Questions give life to our curiosity. They fuel our personal growth. We problem solve and innovate through them.
