Summary
Often in difficult conversations, be it a negotiation at work or an important talk with a family member, we’re eager to find the right words to change someone’s thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. But the most successful conversations and negotiations don’t come from how well you speak. They come from how well you listen.
Listening is the most essential skill of any conversation, and it’s fast becoming a lost art. But Kwame Christian, recognized as one of the world’s top negotiation experts, believes that anyone with an interest in learning can master the power of effective listening. In his Audible Original, Powerful Listening: How to Harness Your Most Essential Skill, you’ll delve into the transformative power of truly listening to other people—a power that can help you bridge divides and build meaningful, productive relationships in all areas of your life.
For example, you’ll sharpen your ability to read body language and other nonverbal cues. You’ll explore the biases that prevent us from listening, and ways to overcome them. And you’ll even practice the power of asking the right questions to get the information you’re after.
There’s no limit to how good you can get at listening. Consider this Audible Original the perfect start to a never-ending journey of self-improvement.

Disappointing
So I would like to start with the postives. Number one the narration was good, clear and easy to follow. And the author clearly understands his stuff. And is well qualified.
However when he was talking about how easy it is to train the brain, I for one got quite annoyed. This is not an easy thing to do. And there were no helpful examples or reflective tasks offered in this section. I also don't think neurodiverse people were considered at all in this section. The science felt over simplified to me. And again there doesn't appear to be reflection or practical tasks offered. However I only got to part way through lecture 2 so maybe there were some later?
At one point he says change your mindset for better results (or words to that effect) but doesn't give any suggestions as to how or give examples of the kind of mindset that would help.

fluff
A book for those who like word salad. Lots of words, very little substance
