You're Not Listening

Every politician should have to read this book. Every leader should read this book. Frick every human should read this book.

I think my favorite tidbit from this that shows how powerful true active listening can be is the person referenced who said one of the reasons they married their spouse is they always leave a pause after he finishes speaking, showing they're really processing what he said.

I can often struggle with allowing silence in conversations and life in general and this book has really opened my eyes to how powerful that silence caj be.
