In Search of Martial Kindness, by Christian Vanhenten
This is my own book, translated by Ted Kendris. It presents AïkiCom, the approach I built by modelling what Aikido brings to everyday life and to communication. Its starting point: you have to be strong to be kind.
You do not need to practise Aikido to read it. It covers centering and verticality, receiving the energy of an interaction, and turning a conflict into a constructive dialogue.
Éditions de la Bienveillance, 2016, 229 pages, paperback and Kindle. It is the English edition of "Ne cessez pas d'être gentils, soyez forts", first published in French in 2014.
