‘This book is accessible and a perfect resource to apply the Deep Democracy knowledge. Frank Weijers is able to explain the philosophy and tools clearly like no one else. Now We’re Talking! is very practical and avoids unnecessary theory. The great lay-out and illustrations enhance the texts and ensure that you know exactly what that specific page is about. It is filled with essential information and there is not a page with too much information or unnecessary repetition.’

‘What a gift! A large part of the effect of Deep Democracy is in the language you use. With this book Frank Weijers offers insight in bite sized sentences with which you can start immediately. And he shines a light on how, why, and when you should act as a group facilitator. Compact and clear, the right words in a pocket sized book.’
Mireille Ollivieira
‘A great book full of useful and practical sentences to help you apply Deep Democracy in practice. With tips on how to deal with group situations, Frank shares his years of experience.’
N. de Peuter
‘Deep Democracy in a nutshell, Frank Weijers has described all the steps, forms, and possibilities of Deep Democracy in a clear way. While Deep Democracy is mainly philosophical the methods are a great practical enrichment in coaching or facilitating people, groups, and organizations. A great gift for an uncle or neighbor dealing with painful collaboration.’
