John R. Miles: 本期节目探讨了提问在改善亲密关系中的重要作用,并与嘉宾Topaz Adizes深入探讨了其在“The And”项目和新书《12 Questions for Love》中的应用。节目中,Miles 强调了提问的力量,指出提问本身就塑造了答案,并引导听众思考如何通过更有意义的提问来改善人际关系。 Topaz Adizes: Adizes 分享了他通过“The And”项目进行的1200多次对话的经验,强调了提问在促进深刻沟通和情感表达中的作用。他认为,精心设计的提问能够引导人们进行更深入的自我反思和相互理解,从而增进彼此的连接和亲密感。他指出,在对话中,不必强求回答所有问题,重要的是体会提问本身,以及与对方相处。他认为,安全感和舒适感并非完全一致,在安全的环境下,适度的“不适感”更有利于个人成长和关系发展。Adizes 还阐述了情感表达与情商的区别,前者是将感受付诸语言的能力,后者是理解自身和他人情感的能力。他认为,通过练习,人们可以提高情感表达能力,从而更好地与他人沟通和建立联系。 Topaz Adizes: Adizes 详细介绍了其新书《12 Questions for Love》中提出的12个问题的结构和意义。他解释说,这12个问题的顺序并非随意安排,而是精心设计的,旨在引导读者进行一次具有疗愈意义的对话之旅,从而加深对彼此的了解和欣赏。他强调,这12个问题涵盖了从回忆往昔、探讨冲突到表达感激和展望未来的各个方面,每个问题都旨在促进更深入的沟通和情感连接。Adizes 还分享了在“The And”项目中的一些案例,说明了这些问题如何帮助人们更好地理解彼此,化解矛盾,并增进亲密感。他认为,通过这些问题,人们可以更好地认识到自身经历并非孤例,并从他人的经验中获得启发和力量。
