Active Listening 101: How to Turn Down Your Volume to Turn Up Your Communication Skills
It's time to take a closer look at the other side of communication. It's time to end the shadowy existence of listening. Diogenes Laertius was right when he realized,
"We have two ears and only one tongue, in order that we may hear more and speak less."
Did you know that employing active listening skills can have a hugely positive effect on your whole life... whether it be strengthening your relationships, gaining valuable information for your business or improving your health and happiness?

We may be inactive or selective listeners at best, neither of which is very effective or productive. So if you want to solve this problem, improve your communication skills, and enjoy the various benefits of an active listener, then you have found the right book.
