In this incredibly captivating book, leading communication expert Haesun (pronounced "Hey, son") Moon offers a set of remarkably ordinary words or phrases—one for every letter of the alphabet—to help you hold extraordinary conversations with yourself and others. Based on her extensive research at the University of Toronto, Moon invites you to step into the transformative spaces of purpose, possibilities, and progress—moving you from conversation mystery to mastery, one story at a time.
