YOU'RE NOT LISTENING What You're Missing and Why It Matters

This audiobook, written and narrated by journalist Kate Murphy, encourages listeners to, well, listen. Though we now live in a world in which technology keeps us constantly connected, people are feeling more isolated and more depressed than ever. How can that be? It's because nobody is actually listening to anyone else, says Murphy. She elaborates by exploring the psychology, neuroscience, biology, and sociology of effective listening--and by examining how humanity strayed from what made us good listeners in the first place. Narrating her own work, Murphy is certainly worthy of the listener's attention. She offers a sincere, passionate voice that is capable of delivering some hard truths about the current state of things while also showing the way toward a truly connected society.
