When was the last time someone really listened to you, was attentive to what you were saying and whose response was so spot on that you felt truly understood? And when was the last time you listened to someone without thinking about what you wanted to say next, without glancing at your phone or jumping in to offer your opinion?
These are some of the questions that author and journalist Kate Murphy raises in her book, You’re Not Listening – What You’re Missing and Why It Matters.
We have forgotten how to listen, Murphy says. Modern life is noisy and frenetic, and technology provides a constant distraction. So we tune things out or listen selectively, even to those we love most. Paradoxically, it seems that the more ways we have to communicate, the less we seem to be able to find time for real conversation.
And yet it is only by listening that we engage, connect and grow as human beings. Listening has the potential to transform our relationships and our understanding of the world around us.
