From the Foreword:"The dialogue process described in this book is rooted in real-life experience and sound theory, tested and proven in practice, and illustrated with compelling stories. It's a process that works for individuals and groups, one that can help us find our way through the complex, conflicted, and high-stakes era in which we live and emerge more unified on the other side.
If you have been holding the question of how to conduct 'constructive dialogue around the issues that drive us apart, both individually and collectively,' now you are also holding a treasure trove of answers in your hands. We have much to learn from Sherry K. Watt and her colleagues, and much to learn from the great diversity of folks with whom we can walk while never losing sight of our shared 'human being.'"
Parker J. Palmer, Founder and Senior Partner Emeritus of the Center of Courage and Renewal
"An important and innovative book that should be part of personal libraries, especially for those seeking new ways to work across difference via conversations hoping for self and institutional/community transformation. The 'Theory of Being' approach is oriented to a long-term process and practice design rather than the outcome-based models of more traditional dialogue efforts. The Theory of Being makes a significant contribution to the practice addressing difficult dialogue work."
Nancy "Rusty" Barcelo, PhD, Equity and Diversity Consultant
"What a wildly timely book. The concepts and personal narrative contained within these pages are like signposts for the fog of reckoning--racial, gender, class, climate--we are all in. I know I will return to it again and again as I continue to deepen my relationships within various communities that I hold dear, none of which are simple, all of which are quite beautiful and sacred to me."
Courtney E. Martin, author of Learning in Public: Lessons for a Racially Divided America from my Daughter's School
