About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

How do we say what we truly mean? How can we learn to listen with compassion and understanding? How do we find true connection with one another?

Celebrated Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh shares the five steps to truly mindful communication. Drawing on his experience working with couples, families, colleagues and even on international conflict, the world's most famous monk has created a simple guide to communicating with yourself, others and the world.

Good book but could be shorter - but the practical tips in the last chapter is one that I’ll keep on coming back to in the future

The book is excellent, I imagine it would be transformational for many. Once I got over the feeling that the methods were twee, their simplicity and effectiveness were impressive. In my opinion, for a book on letting oneself see others in a new and positive and compassionate light, the reader reads it as though bored and contemptuous of others, which entirely ruins the contents. I got the hard copy as an alternative.

Excellent book, poor reading

I found it more difficult to digest than other Thich Nhat Hanh audiobooks because the narrator sounds like a performer rather than a Buddhist. It’s still a very useful guide though and full of wisdom.

The narrator doesn’t sound sincere
