Inhaltsangabe:

“If you’ve ever felt like two ears aren’t enough, this book is for you. Deep Listening reveals how we can improve at hearing others—and helping them hear us too.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

Why do so many conversations leave us feeling unheard and disconnected? In Deep Listening, acclaimed BBC journalist, accredited executive coach, and mediator Emily Kasriel argues that it’s because we've forgotten how to truly listen.

Distracted by our own agenda, we so often hear without understanding, impatiently waiting for our turn to speak. In this exploration of transformational listening, Kasriel shows how shifting from surface-level exchanges to Deep Listening can improve our communication skills, enrich our relationships as friends, parents, and partners, enhance our effectiveness as leaders, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. At a time when divisions within communities, organizations, and families are often a source of profound pain, this book offers inspiration and practical guidance for conflict resolution, showing how we can better listen to each other, even when we fiercely disagree.

Drawing on scientific studies, principles of mindfulness, and powerful stories from legendary listeners in politics, business, and the arts, Kasriel unveils her simple yet transformative eight-step approach to true active listening. With Deep Listening as your guide, you’ll learn to become a better family member, friend, co-worker and citizen.

At once a practical guide and a heartfelt manifesto, this groundbreaking book challenges us to rethink our approach to listening and in doing so, transform our lives from the inside out. Whether readers seek to strengthen their empathy, develop powerful leadership skills, or foster genuine understanding across cultural, political, and generational divides, Deep Listening provides the tools for greater self-awareness and the inspiration to unlock the power of lasting, meaningful connections.

Kasriel’s transformative eight-step method provides the tools to:

• A Transformative Eight-Step Method: Move beyond surface-level hearing with a clear, actionable framework drawn from neuroscience, psychology, and stories of legendary listeners.
• Build Better Relationships: Strengthen the fabric of your connections with friends, family, and partners by fostering genuine understanding and trust.
• Navigate Difficult Conversations: Learn a mediator’s approach to listening with empathy, allowing you to connect with others even when you fiercely disagree.
• Listen to Yourself First: Discover how to quiet your own agenda, manage internal distractions, and become fully present in any conversation.
