Rita Marie talking about her book
"Peace among human beings is a difficult goal to achieve because of our passions and prejudices. Combining empathy and insight, as Rita Marie Johnson proposes in this book, is a valid and proven way to improve human relations."
President Oscar Arias

"In Completely Connected Johnson draws from scientific evidence and her extensive personal experience to produce a work that is eminently readable and convincing. This is transformative learning at its best and makes a vital contribution to peace theory, education, and action. People of all ages and walks of life — from school children to octogenarians, from educators to business, nonprofit, government and social-service leaders — are offered a skill that transcends polarizing win-lose approaches to conflict. Readers learn how to combine empathy and insight to achieve astonishing results — results that include improved grades and performance and also heal, empower, and humanize?

"In these times when marketing pro-grams tell us what we should want, entertainment tells us how we should feel, and technology is increasingly replacing human interactions, it is crucially important that we all have explicit instruction on managing our inner lives and developing positive connections to others. Rita Marie Johnson's model, the Connection Practice, adds a much-needed, simple and effective approach to our Social-Emotional Learning toolkit."

"I've always had a vision of peace being possible in this world, but have felt helpless in finding a tangible way to move towards this goal. I now see a way this can happen by supporting one person at a time to learn this practice. This book has inspired me to get more involved in growing this within my community?"

"Before the Connection Practice some conversations were real struggles that seemed to escalate emotions and misunderstanding. But after being on the receiving and delivering end of these techniques, my wife and I were able to foster compassion and understanding in very difficult areas in our lives. I highly recommend the book "Completely Connected" to anyone that wants to improve their relationships. "
