'BRILLIANT' Chris Evans, Virgin Radio Breakfast Show
When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone really listened to you?
The premise of
this book couldn't be more timely... inspiringly profound… Smart and playful... It feels like a reiteration of something essential... Murphy is here to remind us – entertainingly and compellingly – exactly why it matters so much, especially right now. Hear, hear.
Gripping from start to finish... brilliant…
extraordinarily interesting…full of meat and gold.
Fiercely topical...
You're Not Listening is an intriguing and constructive take on the problem... and
a manual for better communication. Murphy’s book is
intelligent and thought-provoking… Listening is when someone take a real interest in who
you are…a moment of attunement and understanding that sticks in both heads. We could all do with some of that.
It’s time for a spot of re-education...
A fascinating guide to something we assume we do automatically, yet for the most part do very badly... The art of listening is really the art of being human.
We are losing this most crucial, arguably, of our skills in the modern world...
I'll be adopting Murphy's advice... and I will be employing "support" responses everywhere.
