No Offense: Communication Guaranteed Not to Offend - Paperback

by Karl Beckstrand (Author)

(Humor) Award-winning author and college media instructor Karl Beckstrand, M.A., international relations & conflict resolution, captures with simplicity the essence of non-offensive, politically correct communication (don't miss To Swallow the Earth and his 60 multicultural titles).

With so much that is disturbing, distasteful, and degrading in the world, here is something clever, inoffensive, and appropriate for the entire organization/family.

"Not what you'd expect...when you get it, you'll love it." - Jodi O. Brown, speaker

Beckstrand encourages (in a wise-guy kind of way) the expression of important ideas and respectful dialogue-which often lead to serendipitous solutions that neither side would have arrived at without the other. Not an inducement to aphasia, this book uniquely urges each person to express thoughts, despite societal constraints, censorship, or limits on speech.

Discover relationship/business/political humor; 66-page, 5.5" x 8.5" soft cover communications/first amendment book with online bonus material: PremioPublishing (worldwide rights (c) Sept. 2013), libraries, and major book distributors.
