As a society, we've forgotten how to listen. Modern life is noisy and frenetic, and technology provides constant distraction. So we tune things out or listen selectively - even to those we love most. We've become scared of other people's points of view, and of silence. Now more than ever, we need to listen to those around us. Kate Murphy draws on countless conversations she has had to show how only by listening well can we truly connect with others. This life-changing book will transform your conversations forever.
