This book is written wonderfully. Kate Murphy does a fantastic job of providing examples and giving advice. She shows you how even though you think you may be a good listener, it isn't always what you think. I find that I related to this so much as a millennial. We are on our phones and computers constantly, and social networking has become our go-to way of connecting and relating to people. But I agree with Murphy as she explains that these online habits are actually driving people further apart. We learn these habits of listening peripherally and only worrying about what we're going to say next. She talks about how we even listen poorly with our loved ones, perhaps listening even less. Luckily she gives great tips on how to listen better! Great read and I really think everyone should read this!
