Review

"Jason Digges has dedicated his life to helping us humans relate to one another more authentically and compassionately. This book represents a lifetime of study, practice, and teaching, useful for both students and practitioners. As a fellow explorer and guide in such matters, I was thrilled to see such a practical, wise, user-friendly collection of best practices. While reading it, I found myself nodding my head in agreement and appreciation...and sometimes inwardly cheering a big 'Yes.' This is an important and much needed book for helping people join together in creating systems and communities where we help one another heal. You know the old saying, 'It takes a village.' Jason's new book shows us how."-- Susan Campbell, Ph.D. author of Getting Real, Saying What's Real, Truth in Dating, and Five-Minute Relationship Repair
"Inauthentic relating lives at the heart of so many of the world's issues. Too many reactive assumptions, too few genuine inquiries. In this visionary book, Jason Digges hands us the tools we need to humanize and enhearten our relationships. His brilliant offering is a sacred blueprint for individual and collective transformation. I recommend it highly!"-- Jeff Brown, author of Grounded Spirituality and An Uncommon Bond

"Jason Digges has a profound, passionate practice in bettering human relationships. His personal work, his immersion in authentic relating, and commitment to community has resulted in this volume. If you take it to heart, it will provide real guidance to anyone who wants to deepen and enhance their relational lives."-- Diane Hamiton, author of Everything is Workable and The Zen of You and Me

"Finally, a wise and eminently practical guidebook to authentic relating and circling. Jason Digges has concisely encapsulated the important principles and key practices of this rich world in a way you'll be able to understand and actually implement."
-- Terry Patten, author of A New Republic of the Heart and Integral Life Practice

"In a world of so much polarization and misunderstanding, each of us needs to learn to be honest and vulnerable. That's easy to say, but harder to live. This book is the A to Z guide to living in wide open tenderness."
-- Arjuna Ardagh, author of Radical Brilliance and eleven other books

From the Author

Offering Conflict = Energy to the authentic relating community is one of the great honors of my life. I have synthesized my learnings from transpersonal psychology, integral philosophy, circling and authentic relating into a concise and practical guide. From the moment the book's title and first line came to me while on an airplane to teach our first course in Washington, D.C., I have been holding a vision for this book to benefit all of human society in a way that equips us to truly live in harmony. To create a world that works for all of us requires a shared language and skillset. This book is my best contribution to that aim.

5.0 out of 5 stars We need more literature on Authentic Relating (AR)!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book is clear and concise! It speaks directly to what AR is trying to achieve and how to achieve it through adopting AR ideologies and practicing communication technologies.

This is a great step in the direction of making AR more accessible to those who haven't had an opportunity to participate in these communities (yet!) AND provides a landscape to dip one's toes into the water of relating authentically.

This book is for anyone who wants to connect more powerfully with themselves and the world surrounding them! If the book moves you, consider signing up for an introduction circling or AR night (they are online, in-person, and all over the world).

“AR is a set of communication practices designed to bring us into a deeper connection with one another, with ourselves, and with the world around us” (Digges, 2020, p. 18).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book that covers Authentic Relating basics
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book brings together all of the basic elements of Authentic Relating in a clear, heartfelt and practical way. It is a great resource for those new to Authentic Relating, as well as for anyone person interested in improving their relationships with other humans beings. As a highly accessible resource, it could also serve as toolkit for those in the field of organizational development who want to create more safety, trust and transparency in workplace culture. The skills and practices that Digges presents here come out of a philosophy of human experience that is hopeful, respectful, and enlivening. As someone who has attended 3 levels of training in AR, I can assure you that these relational games are fun, deeply engaging and transformative in their impact. Make life more wonderful for yourself and learn about Authentic Relating from this kind and intelligent teacher.

I have been a student of circling and authentic relating for several years. As an executive coach and a facilitator of group conflict, I found this book to be a true gem. I am going to use the model on giving feedback tomorrow with a client that is struggling making human contact. Thanks, Jason, this is a wonderful contribution. Very worth the read.

"Conflict is connection waiting to happen". So says Jason Digges who offers in this book an architecture for Authentic Relating practice. First laying down the founding principles and practices for deep, authentic and intimate connection, Jason then offers the inner diamond of the ART; how to release the energy trapped in a conflict, and use it to profoundly deepen intimacy and connection. A tool as important for a workplace as it is for a marriage, and as simple as it is potent. Use these tools if you wish to live an authentic and vibrant life. Thank you Jason for your gifts.
