Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, business consultant, and coach, author Mark Goulston combines his background with the latest scientific research to help listeners turn the "impossible" and "unreachable" people in their lives into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime friends. Just Listen provides simple but powerful techniques listeners can use to really get through to people.

You'll learn how to: make a powerful and positive first impression; listen effectively; make even a total stranger (potential client) feel understood; talk an angry or aggressive person away from an instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational mindset; and achieve buy-in - the linchpin of all persuasion, negotiation, and sales.

Whether they're coworkers, friends, strangers, or enemies, the first make-or-break step in persuading anyone to do anything is getting them to hear you out. With this groundbreaking audiobook, listeners will be able to master the fine but critical art of effective communication.

The information in this book is golden. I want to listen to this over and over until everything in this book is deeply embedded and natural. I will be buying the hard copy of this book, recommending it, and reading Mark’s Other books. This book made me want to set down with the author over tea and just listen to him speak so I could soak up all his years of wisdom and knowledge.

I am a raving fan after listening to this audio book.

If you get past the author's self praising parts keep popping up throughout the book, especially at the beginning (sorry Dr.Goulston), this is a book that will serve you very well in life. I recommend listening to this book at least 2 or 3 times back to back, as it will help you to retain more knowledge with every read. I especially liked the part about BPD - Borderline personality disorder as briefly mentioned in it, and with a personal experince, I can confirm his honesty and truthfulness in it.

I hate to take off an start only for the performance for using very loud *Beeps* in one of the chapters. Initially I had to skip that chapter all together but then i made myself to come back and listen to it with a cringe. This is a book for grown ups and it is unnecessary to censor it with interruptive Beeps every 3 seconds in my opinion triggering peoples tinnitus, otherwise the performance of the narrator is spot on for this kinda book!
Highly recommend this book!

Get this book and listen to it once a year!

This book gives a story then gives a solution then gives steps to accomplish this solution.

Later parts of the book referenced the beginning chapters.
This made me listen again to some of the beginner chapters to grasp the concept.

Great Book. Gives lots of technique to follow.
