This nonfiction book illuminates the many ways in which we might be hearing the people and the world around us, but not really LISTENING. The lost art of listening and engaging with intent with other people often falls to the wayside because we're groomed to lead the conversation, to define ourselves by what we project. This book identifies the ways in which we wall ourselves off from relationships, empathy, and active socialization, and humorously and wittily calls us to action: stop talking, start listening!
