Hear Here

De: Lee Garland, Arnie Buss

Narrado por: Lee Garland

Learning about Effective Communication and putting it to work in your life is the one thing that will change absolutely everything. When you no longer have a sense of needing to compete or be a victim, to be the winner or the loser, to manipulate or be manipulated, everything changes.

Hear Here describes in detail how to listen and validate another person whether you agree with them or not. It describes how to put across what your needs and wants are in a way that does not diminish others in any way. It's like a magic elixir for living the life you've always wanted. Sounds like a lot of big words, but read the book first and then put the skills into practice; tell us whether we're overstating it or not.

Misses the mark

Wanted to like this, however, it's not only basic, it's also unhelpful. Outside of the common knowledge of people think/believe and do different; listen to discover (seek to understand), or the issues with interrupting others-- there's nothing here that can't be found else where packaged better. The author must've been using his jedi technique because the reading was without emotion, energy, or supportive additional context.

Thought the tracking piece would be something I can add into my toolkit. It was not. The author and matriarch of this system come across as simple and uninspiring. The reason behind tracking makes sense, however, it doesn't come across as intrinsically natural, practical in day to day conversation. Perhaps your views may be different. Incase you're still looking he's a few alternates here on audible.
