This collection of 25 essays distills the best thinking about communication principles, messages, and relationships penned by more than two dozen award-winning communication scholars.

By positioning the words “communication” and “wisdom” side by side, this book provides insights into the intersection of these two critical elements for living a good life. Recognizing that contemporary communication is increasingly fraught with frustration and disagreement, contributors offer wise insights into how to identify and address communication challenges. Through personal examples of what the study of communication means to them, contributors offer perspectives and advice on crafting ethical purposeful messages, listening, and connecting with people. In doing so, each essay presents a thoughtful commentary about what others can do to become knowledgeable and skillful communicators.

An array of truly expert voices celebrating what works and what is effective in enhancing the quality of human communication, this book is an important companion text for Introduction to Communication courses as well as a primary resource for Capstone courses. It will also be of interest to anyone who seeks to enhance their application of communication principles and practices to their lives.
