Summary
One person talks; the other listens. It's so basic that we take it for granted. Unfortunately, most of us think of ourselves as better listeners than we actually are. Why do we so often fail to connect when speaking with family members, romantic partners, colleagues, or friends? How do emotional reactions get in the way of real communication? This thoughtful, witty, and empathic book has already helped over 100,000 people break through conflicts and transform their personal and professional relationships. Experienced therapist Michael P. Nichols, PhD, provides vivid examples, easy-to-learn techniques, and practical exercises for becoming a better listener and making yourself heard and understood, even in difficult situations.

Well researched and written
It wasn't clear to me that this book would focus so much on listening to partners and family members, but although I had bought this to help with listening in work settings, I found it so useful for my personal life that I listened to it all.

You'll want your mum and dad to read it ...
your siblings, friends, lovers too. If you think that you might be, are, or would like to be a good listener, read or listen to this, fascinating and hugely informative. Practising a few of the simple techniques, I am already a much better listener than I was, only a few days ago.
The audible version is well read, you very much feel that the narrator is, in fact, the writer, though, he isn't.

Good examples
Lots of examples and useful information from the author. Generally well presented in a logical order. I felt the book was too long, so many points were reiterated. The speaker was clear and the cadence was good

Great content and good reader
I’ve bought this book and thought it was brilliant and thought I’d get the Audible too.
It’s read really well, and there is soooooo much to learn from this book. It’s amazing!
It really will change your life. Even if you THINK you’re a good listener.
