You're Not Listening

You're Not Listening is New York Times contributor Kate Murphy's eye-opening wake-up call about the worldwide epidemic of not listening. ""If you're like most people, you don't listen as often or as well as you'd like.

""-Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take**Hand picked by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink for Next Big Ideas Club**""An essential book for our times.
