Stephen Kuusisto: Do Not Interrupt: A Playful Take on the Art of Conversation (AARP)
NEW! In this erudite and playful primer on the art of conversation Stephen Kuusisto vigorously tackles the slippery subject of how to converse meaningfully with others. Kuusisto employs a wide range of personal anecdotes, classical texts, and an engaging style to illustrate his points. In seven short, provocative and imaginatively wrought chapters, he spins a compelling argument for the joys of “being connected,” and skillfully shows how to achieve this bond in everyday exchanges.

The philosopher John E. Boodin posited that, “Thought and things are part of one evolving matrix, and cannot ultimately conflict.” (Realistic Universe, 1931) SK, your video demonstrates that when resolution is achieved between thought and things, a paradoxically anarchic and incredible cacophony is created. I will pray for your soul as the space within your skull continues its artful exploration and expression of this phenomenon.
