Volume 1 of Communication: Principles for a Lifetime, Portable Edition introduces the five principles used throughout the text as a framework for understanding the importance of communication:

• Be aware of your communication with yourself and others.
• Effectively use and interpret verbal messages.
• Effectively use and interpret nonverbal messages.
• Listen and respond thoughtfully to others.
• Appropriately adapt messages to others.

These principles are designed to help you see the “big picture” of the role and significance of communication, both as you sit in the classroom and as you live your life. The five principles are introduced in Chapter 1.1, and then each principle is discussed and illustrated in a separate chapter.
