In this updated and expanded version, we are treated to more timeless insights and expressions of communication wisdom.

The author unfolds the beauty and nature of each virtue, showing us how to take notice of discernment, innocence, generosity, authenticity, and more. In this book you will discover how far from being dull these quieter virtues are. Though often hidden, they play a formative role in who we become and what we do in every aspect of our lives.
