<p>You’re Not Listening: What You’re Missing And Why It Matters</p>

<p>'BRILLIANT' Chris Evans,&nbsp;Virgin Radio Breakfast Show</p>

<p>When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone&nbsp;really&nbsp;listened to you?</p>

<p>This life-changing book will transform your conversations forever.</p>

<p>At work, we're taught to lead the conversation.</p>

<p>On social media, we shape our personal narratives.</p>

<p>At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians.</p>

<p>We're not listening.</p>

<p>And no one is listening to us.</p>

<p>Now more than ever, we need to listen to those around us.&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;contributor Kate Murphy draws on countless conversations she has had with everyone from priests to CIA interrogators, focus group moderators to bartenders, her great-great aunt to her friend's toddler, to show how only by listening well can we truly connect with others.</p>

<p>Listening has the potential to transform our relationships and our working lives, improve our self-knowledge, and increase our creativity and happiness. While it may take some effort, it's a skill that can be learnt and perfected.</p>

<p>When all we crave is to understand and be understood,&nbsp;You're Not Listening&nbsp;shows us how.</p>
