About book Just Listen: Discover The Secret To Getting Through To Absolutely Anyone (2009)
Very cool book on empathy and managing relationships with people practically in all areas of your life. I'd say it's a must read for anyone dealing with people, for me it was interested as it helps me become a better coach for my clients. If you're a manager, CEO, doctors, attorney, parent or any similar position this book will teach you the exact skills to master the art of maintaining win-win relationships with people you interact with. The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because it's a bit complex to implement all this at once, it would definitely require a lot of re-reading and creating a system. The author has however managed to present the skills in a simple way so you can implement some of the skills from the book right after reading it. I originally picked up the audiobook through my library. I have found that this is a better media for absorbing information and helps me to process more productively and creatively. I will be purchasing this audiobook for my home library, but have already ordered a paperback so that I can break out the highlighter to correlate my scribbled notes everywhere.Yes, this deals with common sense. But it also suggests alternative questions to ask, ones I would rarely think to ask, and usually only after the confrontation occurred, not during the conversation prior to escalation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that just wants quick tips on interacting with people of various backgrounds, a refresher on empathy, or even just the ground-rules of how to not be a walking aggressive/over-sensitive/negative/victim/"insert-adjective". *coughs delicately*
