Book: The Dialogue Game

Dialogue is conversation of a higher quality, as different from Discussion and Debate as steam is from water and ice.  Consequently, it produces a higher quality of results:

Practiced in schools, it develops intellectual skills: reading, writing, listening, speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork skills –– all improve simultaneously, along with the social climate of classroom and school.

Practiced among adults, it develops broad-minded critical thinking and the ability to integrate multiple perspectives.  An ideal preliminary to any decision-making, it helps determine actions more supportive of the common good and more effective in the long run.

In any setting, it energizes teams and nurtures communities based on mutual respect and understanding.  It helps build peace from the grassroots up, in families, schools, businesses, and community groups of all sorts.

The Dialogue Game synthesizes the wisdom of recognized Dialogue masters (Socrates, Plato, Adler, Bohm, Senge), consolidating a wealth of information in one book:

Ten Rules jump-start the process of enjoying a higher quantum level of conversation.

Eighteen Keys to Deeper Enjoyment help a group deepen their understanding of Dialogue principles and their ability to engage in satisfying, fruitful conversations.

Sample Dialogue and Critique provide transcripts of high-level conversations, annotated to illustrate the principles demonstrated in context.

The practice of Dialogue generates intellectual, emotional, practical, and spiritual benefits.  The Dialogue Game gives you everything you need to begin enjoying these benefits today.
