Breathe
By Edmée Pardo
What book would you recommend," a new acquaintance asks me. He assumes that my profession allows me to have a number of options at hand that will work for him. I feel like when a table neighbor asks the doctor next to him at a wedding about the chest pain he is experiencing. The answer would be the same: you would need to be examined. A doctor cannot give such an opinion lightly, and ideally one should not do it lightly either, recommending a book. It is not just a question of thinking about a title, but about the person for whom it is intended. A book for whom, what they like, where they are in their life, the support they prefer.
I recently took a course for reading mediators and Pepe Trivez, an expert on the subject, systematized in five questions a method for getting to know the reader and making successful recommendations.
