This book is about climbing toward connection.

Through the practice of critical skills that open our minds and connect us with our highest ideals, we can move beyond defending our points of view and strive toward choices that honor our desire to maximize our lives and impact. A conscious connection feels like a deep breath of cool air on top of a snow-capped mountaintop and the touch of a warm hand reaching out to pull you toward the warmth of the fire. Composed of four interlocking habits, this book will help you build conscious connections, find pockets of personal bliss, and maximize your leadership potential.

Our individual capacity to change nations and hearts has been demonstrated throughout history. With the right tools, you can build armies of consciously connected leaders committed to four simple habits that can empower nations.

What separates us from Mandela? What divides us from history's change-makers? What made Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mother Teresa so memorable? They were not born powerful. Most leaders, despite struggles, learned to consistently apply value-based habits to every challenge.

Based on proven leadership principles, this book provides a methodology more powerful than the thousands of other leadership books available. No matter how much you study relationship building, communication, or countless other singular issues, they all boil down to four habits.

In The Power of Conscious Connection, author Talia Fox will guide you down the path to becoming more consciously connected. Among the topics covered:

• Why we feel so isolated and alone, even though we're surrounded by constant communication
• What it means to be alive in the world
• Why deep Listening is the key to mental health--and how it can make you the smartest person in the room
• How a simple habit of Observing reveals the interrelated systems all around us
• Why your interactions with others feel fake and rehearsed
• What it means to engage with others, even when we don't feel we should have to
• And how to use the entire Conscious Connections system to transform your life for the better--no matter your challenges, desires, or stage in life
