One person talks; the other listens. It's so basic that we take it for granted. Unfortunately, most of us think of ourselves as better listeners than we actually are. Why do we so often fail to connect when speaking with family members, romantic partners, colleagues, or friends? How do emotional reactions get in the way of real communication? This thoughtful, witty, and empathic book has already helped over 100,000 people break through conflicts and transform their personal and professional relationships. Experienced therapist Michael P. Nichols, PhD, provides vivid examples, easy-to-learn techniques, and practical exercises for becoming a better listener and making yourself heard and understood, even in difficult situations.

While the topic is listening, he spends equal time on how to speak up effectively and what it means to be heard.
This is a book I will return to throughout my life.

The narrator has a distinctly Paul Harvey like cadence and voice, which gave this book an artificially dated feel. I felt like I was listening to something that had been written in the 1970's, even though it was updated in 2009. I would have preferred a different narrator because of the cognitive dissonance.
It's a worthwhile book. It's also very clearly written by an educated white guy for white people. There's no attention given to the way that different cultures and ethnicities communicate, or to the way that people often need to code-switch to succeed in some settings.
