But is anyone listening? For that matter, are people ever speaking to each other?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe need to acknowledge that speech, as we know it, has never been so debased. We live in a world full of empty, degraded, and potentially violent speech: a daily reality that confronts us in the workplace, in the media, on the streets, on the internet and in our political lives. Verbal clashes are commonplace, while proper dialogue is rare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eG?rald Garutti pushes for a return to a more constructive and responsible form of speech. He lays the groundwork for a humanistic approach: one which, contrary to the dominant culture of ignoring and humiliating others, emphasizes listening to them and mastering speech as a way of connecting. The arts of speech can contribute to the reconciliation of tensions in our society and to the realization of our full humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWatch Your Words\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning manifesto for anyone interested in how we might better communicate with each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Garutti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509567291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509567294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gerald Garutti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46571376017663,"sku":"9781509567294","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee35e888-6075-4691-ac9f-5c24598ca395.jpg?v=1738808052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/watch-your-words-gerald-garutti-9781509567294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
