by Mark Brady

2014 · CreateSpace · 120 pages

Listening is hard work. Like any endeavor that we become skillful at, listening takes practice. The difference between someone who had devoted great time and energy to becoming skilled at listening is similar to a high school gymnast contrasted with an Olympic medalist. The good news is that our skill at listening can be dramatically improved without the effort required to win an Olympic medal.

In this little book you will find 52 practices that you can begin practicing at your own pace. Within a very short time, I predict your kids, and your spouse, as well as other significant people in your life, will begin to notice and appreciate the difference. [Text Source: Google Books]
