Description
We live in a world where technology enables constant digital communication and offers ever-new ways to connect and develop relationships. Yet it seems that no one truly listens, or even knows how to. As a result, we feel more lonely, isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. New York Times journalist Kate Murphy wants to know what happened. In this fascinating and often humorous book, Murphy explains why we don't listen, what it does to us, and how we can reverse this trend. Humanely, she presents a psychological, neuroscientific, and sociological discussion on the topic of listening while introducing us to real experts (including a CIA agent, a discussion group host, a bartender, a radio producer, and a top furniture salesman). Her work is equally a cultural critique, a scientific study of inquiry, and an exciting call to change, filled with practical advice and real-life stories. It's time to stop talking and start listening.
