How to Listen So People Will Talk

No relationship is perfect--but it can be better. The secret to stronger relationships isn't to become more charming or funny or to solve the world's problems or to just try harder. All you have to do is listen. It's that simple.

Yet our noisy culture hasn't equipped us to do this. With warmth and a touch of humor, personal coach and expert communicator Becky Harling shares simple, practical listening tools that will help you become a person others are drawn to and want to spend time with, as well as how to:
· be fully present
· offer understanding instead of advice
· ask great questions
· create a sense of safety and trust
· manage your body language
· and more!

When you learn to listen well, your marriage will grow stronger, your parenting will flourish, your friendships will thrive, and your influence at work will increase. You will be amazed at how one simple act can transform the hearts of others--as well as your own.

This book was very insightful and helpful. Readers of this book will be encouraged to be able to have meaniingful conversations and better relationships.

Excellent, excellent book on how to communicate (or when to shut up) so that you can have great relationships with anyone! I liked how practical it is and how applicable it is for everyday day-to-day communications with everyone around you. I also enjoyed the author's stories, many of them personal and very relevant for illustrating her points.

My hubby listened to the audio version and had good things to say too. Highly recommended for anyone, young and old, and especially if you are a Christian!

I will be looking into buying a copy for my church library.
