“The issues raised in this book make headlines around the world every day.
Ipek Tekdemir has set out the global problems of communication and truth in an incredibly professional but straightforward way.
The philosopher Socrates in Ancient Greece focused on the pursuit of truth and its importance. He stressed the need for critical inquiry in the search for it. Ipek Tekdemir has compiled a manual that probably would impress Socrates and others who have argued the need for truth down the centuries.
Everyone should read this book and learn what the world would be like without truth. Ipek has made the methodology very clear and understandable.”

“This book is a refreshing spring of insights and optimism, exploring how communication and diplomacy can shape a sustainable and prosperous future.

By emphasizing communication as a strategic tool rather than a mere supplement to policy, the work provides a useful perspective. A must read for all diplomats, politics and global players, so they can say “Yes, we com”.
