You're Not Listening sounds like just what we need right about now. In a world where the art of conversation seems to have died--or at least be on life support--Kate Murphy's exploration of the art of hearing and heeding others' voices is a call to attention for us all. We've all seen it: one person reaches out, trying to connect with another, and the intended listener, plugged in or zoned out or impatient or confused, just doesn't pay the speaker any mind. We've all seen the damage failing to listen can do, politically, socially, personally, and maybe we're ready to be reminded to listen, really LISTEN.
I love the balance between personal experience and facts-and-figures data Murphy brings to her research, as well as the breadth of perspectives and sources she incorporates. This is credible information delivered with a great eye for detail and a clear, sometimes wryly funny, voice.
