-Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Originals and Give and Take "You're Not Listening
is an essential book for our times. How well we listen determines
how we love, learn, and connect with one another, and in this
moment when we need to hear and be heard more than ever, this
thought-provoking and engaging book shows us how."
-Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone I was instantly hooked by Kate
Murphy's simple but profound argument--that although listening is
the foundation of communication, innovation, growth, and love, few
of us really know how to do it properly, or where to even start.
You're Not Listening is a captivating and enlightening book that
provides readers with a road map on how to listen and why it is so
important to how we connect, work, and live.
-Kim Scott, New York Times bestselling author of
Radical Candor This lively book makes an impassioned plea for
listening--an instructive and thought-provoking book that will help
readers think about the way they frame questions and responses to
forge intimacy.
-Financial Times Fiercely topical...You're Not
Listening is an intriguing and constructive take on the
problem...and a manual for better communication. Murphy's book is
intelligent and thought-provoking.... Listening is when someone
take a real interest in who you are...a moment of attunement and
understanding that sticks in both heads. We could all do with some
of that.
-The Times (London) It's time for a spot of re-education....
A fascinating guide to something we assume we do automatically, yet
for the most part do very badly.... The art of listening is really
the art of being human.
-The Guardian In an age when technology has made it easier
than ever before to talk with each other, we've paradoxically
become worse at listening. Fortunately, we have Kate Murphy to
teach us how to reclaim this crucial skill. This book changed the
way I think about communicating with the people who matter to
me.
-Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of
Deep Work and Digital Minimalism With concrete advice and
a wealth of guidelines, readers will come away with tips for a
better approach, one that can be exceptionally useful, whether in
the boardroom or at home. In an era dominated by incessant
broadcasting and attention-seeking behavior on social media,
listening offers both a salve and a solution.
-Booklist From communication researchers to general
audiences, this informative and well-documented book will prod
readers to reexamine the way they listen to others, individually
and collectively, and to consider the many negative repercussions
of not doing so.
-Library Journal The premise of this book couldn't be more
timely... inspiringly profound... Smart and playful... It feels
like a reiteration of something essential... Murphy is here to
remind us - entertainingly and compellingly - exactly why it
matters so much, especially right now. Hear, hear.
-The Observer Kate Murphy...has pinpointed an uneasy truth in her
new book: we may be great at leading the conversations, but perhaps
not so much being on the receiving end of them."
