The author writes with great vulnerability, humility, and humor. Along with providing practical advice to living in this time of great conflict, it is a joy to read.

Reviews
This is a jewel of a book. The author sets out a premise that provides food for thought in getting "unstuck" in relationships, dealing with triggering events, and moving through life in a constructive and mindful fashion. I liked the structure a lot. After setting out a premise, the author has a section where readers pause to consider some questions she lays out. She then provides examples of situations involving her premise, followed by more pauses to consider articulated questions. There is a summary at the end of each chapter featuring useful bullet points. Ms. Blanc's approach demonstrates a deep understanding of how adults learn and her wisdom shines through. I recommend this book.

30-minute intro call to learn more about RiverLogic and how we may be able to support you.
Denise has written an easily accessible how-to book that will improve anyone's ability to communicate skillfully, especially in potentially conflictual situations. She has brought together the thoughts of experts, combined them with her personal experiences, and added both vulnerability and humility to create an understandable and inspiring method of handling oneself in difficult interpersonal interactions. She has used the river metaphor to help readers understand what they need – "river logic" – in order to navigate the rough waters of interactions with people whose views vary greatly from their own.

In RiverLogic, Blanc harnesses her wisdom and compassion and writes with honesty and brilliant agency. She shares her personal stories through the clear lens of someone who has decades of meditation, nature adventures, world travels, and endless curiosity for human connections and communication. Blanc gives skillful instructions that are deeply needed today for the human predicament and interface with environmental and political conditions. A truly beautiful book rich in information, emotion and hope and written in plain-spoken strength.
