One of The Washington Post's "Notable Works of Nonfiction in 2020"
"If you're like most people, you don't listen as often or as well
as you'd like. There's no one better qualified than a talented
journalist to introduce you to the right mindset and skillset--and
this book does it with science and humor."
-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."
