Description

Have you ever been afraid to say what you think because of how others may react?

Is it possible to have differing viewpoints and still be friends with someone?

If you’ve ever:

  • had had a disagreement with someone over politics, religion, or social issues turn into a heated argument
  • wanted to share your opinions without judgment . . .

. . . You need to apply the Ruby Rule—a new approach to elevating your communications with humility, humanity, and hope.

In this transformative book, best-selling author Arthur F. Coombs III shares the secrets of shifting your mindset from one focused on self to one focused on others. In seeing others through a Ruby lens, not only will you be able to effectively express your views and hold discussions without being controlled by your emotions, you will gain a deep appreciation for those who may challenge those views.

Being loud doesn’t mean being heard. If someone says or does something unkind or insulting, how do you respond? When you come to understand that each person is worthy of your respect and love, it’s a game-changer—for you and the other person.

With the Ruby Rule, you can heal from hard things.

Listen more, label less, and you will heal more and hate less. Revolutionize the way you interact with others by going ruby today.

Advance Praise

"“The civility the world so desperately needs today, and the deeper sense of connection and richness we all desire in our relationships with family, friends and even strangers won’t go to the next level unless we do. The Ruby Rule is that next level.” - Kirk Weisler, Internationally Recognized Motivational Speaker


""We believe what we think. We know we are right. From this place, we treat each other horribly. The Ruby Rule presents an option counterintuitive to our prideful ego but psychologically rock solid. Art Coombs consistently invites us to a higher state of civility through awareness, choice, and intentional effort. When you read The Ruby Rule, you will find support for all three."" - Paul H. Jenkins, Ph.D., Positivity Psychologist, Speaker, and Author


""The Ruby Rule is a timely and refreshing manual for day-to-day living that everyone should experience in these divisive times. Mr. Coombs brilliantly elucidates how we can all hold true to ourselves while still listening to, honoring, and respecting others, even when we disagree. Everyone should read this book!"" - Alexander Cendese, Actor, Writer, and Producer


""In today’s world, it seems no one can disagree peacefully. But with The Ruby Rule, Arthur F. Coombs III teaches you how to have honest, productive discussions about opposing views, without the argument. The revolutionary Ruby Rule is a step up from the Golden Rule. I firmly believe everyone’s communication skills can be improved by learning and applying the Ruby Rule."" - Melissa Dalton Martinez, producer and host of The Book Break"
