You\'re Not Listening is New York Times contributor Kate Murphy\'s eye-opening wake-up call about the worldwide epidemic of not listening.
It\'s time to stop talking and start listening..
Equal parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action that\'s full of practical advice, You\'re Not Listening is to listening What Susan Cain\'s Quiet was to introversion.
She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there (including a CIA agent, focus group moderator, bartender, radio producer, and top furniture salesman).
In this always illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains why we\'re not listening, What it\'s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend.
A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here.

And no one is listening to us.
We\'re not listening.
So do our politicians.
At parties, we talk over one another.
On social media, we shape our personal narratives.
