This life-changing book will transform your conversations foreverAs a society, we’ve forgotten how to listen.
While it may take some effort, it\'s a skill that can be learnt and perfected..
Listening has the potential to transform our relationships and our working lives, improve our self-knowledge, and increase our creativity and happiness.
And the cleverest people can be the worst at it.
Improvisational comedians and con men are much better at it than most of us.
New York Times contributor Kate Murphy draws on countless conversations she has had with everyone from priests to CIA interrogators, focus group moderators to bartenders, her great-great aunt to her friend\'s toddler, to show how only by Listening well can we truly connect with others.
