Turning to One AnotherTurning To One Another: Simple Conversations To Restore Hope To The Future by Margaret J. Wheatley
Want to start having real conversations with people?- get this book!

Here are some questions, conversation starters, and beliefs that Wheatley offers that resonated deeply with me and I hope you as well:
"Are you becoming someone you respect?"
"Do you feel a vocation to be fully human?"

"The cure for dispair is not hope. It’s discovering (and conversing about) what we want to do about something we care about."

Calling the Circle: The First and Future Culture by Christa BaldwinCalling the Circle: The First and Future Culture

Christina Baldwin. Christina is probably the formost expert on peer circles.

From The Four Directions Conversation Starter Kit - Berkana Institute -

Six Thinking Hats:by Edward De Bono; 173pages - I read a chapter per workout on the stairmaster -seemed to work out just fine. De Bono resets the way meetings function to communicate information, brainstorm and create new ideas. It has been nearly 15 years since it was first published. The revised edition brings in real world examples of this work with phenomenal success. Using this method he shows how what would have been a frustrating four hour meeting can be reduced to 45 minutes with impact and intention. For more of the review check out Living Intentionally Vol1No4
