Summary: school book
Comment: Written like a school textbook for GSCE students; i.e. dry, boring and very forgetable. For engaging and far superior reads I would recommend - 'Listening' by Anne Long, and /or 'The Lost Art of Listening' by Michael Nichols
Customer Rating:
Summary: Helped my communication and effectiveness immediately
Comment: I recommend this book to everyone who wants to improve their interactions with others and understand themselves better. I have found my understanding of other people and my interactions with them improve enormously since I read it.
The book is simply and clearly put together. It explains why we are generally such poor listeners. It gets you to understand how effective a listener you are already and helps you build your listening effectiveness through some very simple steps and helps you develop an interactive, empathetic style. Once you have read it I guarantee you will look at the world in a different way and other people will comment on how much better a listener you are.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Comment: I strongly recommend this book. To be quite honest I just fell in love with this book, it tought me things that I never knew about myself.
I've heard all this time and never really took the time to listen.Now, I understand what listening is and how it helped me enchance my abilities to communicate better and better. Everyone should read this book, great asset.
I have met Ms.Madelyn Burley-Allen and she is quite a charming lady. You learn when she speaks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book - revealing and practical
Comment: I strongly recommend this book for just about everyone. I believe that most of us have huge room for improvement in the area of listening ( if you don't agree, the author will probably convince you of this). The book provides information on typical listening styles, why most of us listen the way we do, and methods for improving your skills. Unlike some other books which confine themselves to the detrimental effects of not listening properly, this one gives you plenty of practical guidance on things you can do to enhance your abilities in this most difficult of communication skills.
