About the Book

Gifts from the Heart is a friendly, concise, and easy-to-read book that helps students learn, practice, and improve ten fundamental communication skills needed for any long-term relationship. Each skill is presented as a “gift” for students to give to others, rather than as a behavior to implement, empowering students to participate more fully in their relationships. With a conversational and student-friendly writing style, each chapter focuses on one essential communication skill that can dramatically enhance students’ connections with their romantic partners, family members, and friends. The book uses simple language, memorable concepts, and practical exercises to present communication techniques that can be used by those hoping to improve specific relationships and by all those who want to offer “gifts” to others in their lives. The third edition of Gifts from the Heart includes new material on using digital technology to enhance and strengthen interpersonal relationships, while minimizing technological barriers to face-to-face interactions.

About the Author :
Randy Fujishin is professor emeritus at West Valley College, where he worked as a counselor in the student mental health center and taught communication and clinical psychology for thirty-eight years. He is a family and child therapist, conference speaker, and author of several books in the field of human communication, including The Art of Communication, Creating Effective Groups, and Discovering the Leader Within.

Review :
I prefer this book to a traditional textbook because of its readability, affordability, and level of complexity. This book resonates with a diverse population of students. This book offers an alternative perspective in exploring and understanding interpersonal relationships. It serves its purpose well, and it stands out among all the others currently available in the field. This is one of the best well-read and embraced readings I have ever had in any of my classes. I believe that is because Fujishin touches on some of the most important aspects of human relationships, be it parenting, friendship, or intimate alliances. In addition to using the book for my classroom reading, I will be purchasing several copies to give as gifts.
