- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a quick read but an important one! This book is appropriate for anyone who would like to learn or sharpen their interpersonal skill of active listening.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI found it a bit dated in the sense that it sounds just a bit sexist. But the advice and insight of how to do active listening remains very strong!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseSo, I thought I was purchasing a book not a pamphlet. Information was helpful but disappointed and feeling cheated or misled. Item description should list this as a very quick guide or pamphlet, not a book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseExcellent. I gave this to a friend who talks all the time and who feels the need to express every opinion that crosses the cranium.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseHighly recommend this book. Very short, however, its full of useful information. The application of ideas presented will improve communication.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseGreat work, a little dated in terminology but anyone literate should be able to interpret.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThis book, despite the recent copyright, is an excerpt or reproduction of a piece written in the early 50’s. While the principles about good listening are still applicable, the presentation immediately turned me off to the point that I quit reading. Every example seems to involve men in places like factories. If there is a female pronoun in the book, I couldn’t find it. I have had an extensive class on listening in the past, so I know there is useful, and much more contemporary, material to be had. I only bought the book because it’s required for a class, and I intend to tell the instructor that he needs to find something besides this to assign.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe publisher has spoke about high standards that they use when publishing a book. The material seems to focus around research that was done in the 1950's. It is very topical, not in-depth, and seems very out of date. Sorry bad purchase for me, not the first time this publisher disappointed me. Maybe the last time I buy from publisher.
