The Power of Listening: How to Improve Relationships by Becoming an Active Listener
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of an argument with someone who just isn’t getting it?We miss out on the visual emotive cues we see during direct interpersonal communication. Words on a screen cannot express the hurt you see in someone’s eyes who has been betrayed. Without these important context clues, we struggle to grasp the intent of the messenger and often the real meaning of the message.
Our dependence on instant communication has resulted in forgetting how to talk to each other in person.
Being without knowledge of the other person’s feelings or intent will put communication in peril, frequently resulting in unresolved conflict or damage to the relationship.
Used correctly, the tools in this book will increase the strength of your personal and professional relationships. You will learn the quantitative difference between hearing the words of what someone said and listening to the meaning of what they are saying. This book will help you to harness the power of active listening.
This book was written to give clear direction and guidance for improving how to listen to the people in our lives. The lessons within will lead you to build better relationships at home, at work, and everywhere in between. The Power of Listening is designed to lead you down a path of self-awareness and self-improvement. It is also made to serve as a reminder of the role we play in the conflicts we encounter.
This book will give you the power to be mindful of your own words and actions through understanding the process of healthy communication.
As a couple’s therapist, I witnessed people experience radical breakthroughs once they understood what was holding them back. I saw as they recognized how the changes in their communication style positively impacted their relationships at home. In time, I noticed how active listening created a beneficial side effect of improving personal relationships outside of the marital relationship.
So encouraged by this life-enhancing method of communication, I expanded my practice of psychotherapy. I began to help clients address the interpersonal conflicts they were experiencing with other family members and, eventually, work relationships.

Nothing New But Required Reading
This book is well written and provides skillful means to be an active listener. There is really a difference between being just a recorder of the other person or a judge or just being there in an empathic state. On this topic, all the eyes are dotted, and the tees have been crossed.

Useful but partial coverage and execution of the topic
There is plenty of good insightful information in this book but also, I felt, an unaddressed elephantine
issue. That is the role of emotion. My personal experience is that this understanding this topic requires insight into its role on both the sides and the role of preoccupations. Much of what people communicate is a product of their emotional state and their betnoires. I was continually reminded of negotiation training I've had like that presented in Never Split the Difference. If a listener feels the emotional content of their message has been truly heard and understood, you have a chance at influencing them.
This is a big topic and it needs to be reduced to a model one can carry in your head. While the book has a summary, I flet this was a feature that would have added to the value delivered by the book.
In summary, this feels like a good but partial coverage of the topic, which would have benefited in resolving into a tool that was memorable.
