Discovering Your Communication Type is your guidebook to interpersonal connection. Using the acronym PATHS, author and expert Jason VanRuler introduces five different communication types to help readers understand how they relate to others so they can strengthen bonds with the people who matter most.
A practical guide designed to help you better understand yourself and how you communicate with others so you can strengthen bonds, nurture trust, and create extraordinary relationships with the people who matter most.
Healthy connections with others don't happen on their own. They take practice, time, and knowledge of yourself and others. That's why everyone can benefit from Discovering Your Communication Type--whether you feel good about your relationships and just want to improve, or you're floundering and desperate for help.
Using the acronym PATHS, Jason VanRuler--a highly sought-after expert on relationships, attachment, and dating--introduces five different communication types and the weaknesses and strengths that go with each one. Through deep reflections and research-based tips and tricks, this book will help you:
- Discover your communication type: Peacemaker, Advocate, Thinker, Harbor, or Spark
- Determine how your attachment style influences the way you communicate
- Identify whether you're a high-frequency or low-frequency communicator

- Learn about communication on-ramps (empathy, vulnerability, authenticity, and more) and how to take them
