Paul W. Swets

With five sisters, no brothers, I had to learn why people act the way they do and how to make myself heard. Degrees in Psychology and Communication helped, and so did many years in pastoral counseling.

THE ART OF TALKING SO THAT PEOPLE WILL LISTEN, published by Simon & Schuster, has sold over 130,000 books. In addition, it is translated into Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.

FINDING HAPPINESS: BUILDING STABLE RELATIONSHIPS IN DIFFICULT TIMES was published in 2015 and is receiving outstanding reviews. New research in Positive Psychology measures what makes people happy. Results show that highly functioning relationships promote well-being.

My passion is to empower people to relate well and achieve maximum understanding so that they enjoy abundant happiness in life.
