review 1: Excellent book, I got the audio version and keep playing it at my office. I've listened to it at least 4 times so far and every time find a new lesson. Helpful and with many insights for personal and business life. You have to read for your own sake. Nowadays we spend a lot of time dealing with many different people. We have been raised in a world were the "stronger" has to crash the "weaker" (At least you ave to let them think like that), where we are all stressed out by situations or other people. Just using some tools from the lecture you will be capable to take action in a smarter way to any of these situations. you do not have to change yourself or struggling due to others, just need to cope and to understand and just listen!This is a book that you won't regret ... morehaving in your library. I loved it so much that yesterday went to chapters and got one for my hubby.
review 2: Although the title of this book hints that listening is all you have to do to get through to people, the author actually describes techniques much more complex than simply listening. The art of getting through to difficult people involves different techniques depending on the situation. However, the basis behind each technique is the same. A few key points that Goulston makes is to make the other person feel valued and “felt,” try to be interested instead of interesting, and help people to mentally and emotionally “exhale.” Although this book was a good read, I didn’t find it to be extremely enlightening. less
