You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters

You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters

by Kate Murphy Author

Equal parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action full of practical advice, this illuminating and often humorous deep dive explains why we’re not listening, what it’s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how; and it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. We learn when we listen- it’s how we connect, cooperate, empathize, and fall in love. While we might take listening for granted, how well we listen, to whom, and under what circumstances determines who we are and the paths we take in life. It’s time to stop talking and start listening.
