Listen up!
Although today we are more connected to each other than ever before, more people than ever feel alone. The New York Times reporter Kate Murphy shows why we stopped listening, how we can re-learn to do so, and why it’s more important than ever that we begin to listen to each other again. Look at how children are taught (or not!) to listen in school and at home. Hear from some of the best listeners out there (hostage negotiators! Focus group facilitators! Furniture salesmen?). Learn about listening from an improv class at Second City and Japanese businessmen and look at the impact of a cell phone on the dinner table on a first date. Kate Murphy offers an equal parts brilliantly-researched expose, rousing call to action, and practical advice.
