We all want to build harmonious relationships. In family, in friendship, love and sex, right? And for this it is very important to negotiate.
The author of this book, a consultant on sex education and relationship psychology, tells how to learn this. Why and what to ask permission for, how to greet correctly, how to communicate carefully and respectfully, what touches and actions are acceptable and what are not. The book discusses many familiar life situations and gives useful practical advice. The author does this easily, understandably and with humor.
The basis of the ability to negotiate is the principle of consent. And consent is not just a "yes" or "no" answer. It is the ability to make independent decisions and experience joy from one's own choice. It is the ability to answer the question: what exactly do I want? This is freedom based on respect for oneself and others.
The book has three parts:
Consent and you - will help you better understand yourself and your boundaries.
Consent and other people - this part of the book will teach you to respect other people's boundaries and find compromises in all areas of life, including a very important and intimate one - sexual (asking and asking, greeting, negotiating in a group).
Harmony and Peace - dedicated to global issues in society, talks about gender and how discrimination, racism, ableism, sexism, and other -isms and phobias interfere with harmony, the purpose of which is to inspire.
