[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Book Recommendation Needed

[Porier, Anne]

I loved the book *You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It
Matters, *by Kate Murphy. It may be a fit for your needs!

Publisher's summary from Titlewave:
Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital
communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really
listening or even knows how. And it's making us lonelier, more isolated,
and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times
contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here.

In this always illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains
why we're not listening, what it's doing to us, and how we can reverse the
trend. She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of
listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there
(including a CIA agent, focus group moderator, bartender, radio producer,
and top furniture salesman). Equal parts cultural observation, scientific
exploration, and rousing call to action that's full of practical advice,
You're Not Listening is to listening what Susan Cain's Quiet was to
introversion. It's time to stop talking and start listening.
