Summary
 
  Summary

Martin Buber�s work suggests that real life begins with two individ­uals engaged in dialogue, not just taking care of one�s own needs as described in social Darwinism.

Arnett argues that the end of the age of abundance demands that we give up the communica­tive strategies of the past and seek to work together in the midst of limited resources and an uncertain future. Today�s situa­tion calls for an unwavering commitment to Buber�s �narrow ridge� concern for both self and community.

Arnett illustrates the narrow ridge definition of interpersonal communication with rich ex­amples. His vignettes demon­strate effective and ineffective approaches to human communi­ty. An effective approach, he makes clear, incorporates not only openness to others� points of view but also a willingness to be persuaded.
