Can you recall the last time you truly listened to someone with 100 percent of your focus and attention? In these times, with numerous media distractions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve this state.
Kate Murphy does a brilliant job of explaining the importance of listening to others and the underrated value of the skill in society. As a born listener, this one resonated with me in numerous ways. It was refreshing to read an entire book dedicated to the practice of listening. I couldn't stop nodding my head in agreement while reading through this one.
This one is laid out through various interviews that the author conducted through her work as a journalist. She speaks with different industry specialists in multiple professions and shows that no matter where we come from or what we do, listening is a way that we can continue to learn and discover more about the world and its people.
