Have you ever felt your words autumn on deafened ears? Have you ever felt like you didn't know how to listen to someone when they actually needed you to?In The Lost Art of Listening, Michael Nichols frames listening as an active art - we need do to transform passive reception to real hearing. As a time to come advisor or instructor, this volume grabbed me from the starting time: non just does Nichols talk over how to listen more finer, but he besides brings up the benefits of listening and the consequences of miscommunication. He offers advice on a gamut of listening-related situations and issues, including the struggle to append our ain needs, reducing emotional reactivity, and learning to listen to specific people such as your children or your coworkers. In a guild where we spend a big corporeality of fourth dimension creating small talk earlier business meetings or messaging each other through Facebook, The Lost Fine art of Listening gives usa the tools to transform how nosotros communicate with one another. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more than nearly listening, either for yourself or for others.

I run into how he wrote this. He came upward with the idea of a book, and he jotted downward notes between counselling sessions and meetings until he'd filled an practise book. Then he grouped them loosely into themes and wrote the book.The effect is a bundle of platitudes, anecdotes, and communication which have no connection beyond their overall topic. He would have been better to write a collection of short essays rather than feign a linear narrative out of them. Definitely some useful thoughts in there, but presented in this fashion it's more like sitting on the knee of an sometime human who talks sagely just tangentially. You're left to gather the wisdom and piece it together yourself.

A few quotes/takeaways:
Listening isn't a need we have; information technology's a souvenir we give.
What nosotros can't tolerate in others is what we can't tolerate in ourselves.
Most people retrieve more than about what they want to say than about what is beingness said to them.
Triangulation—ventilating feelings of frustration to tertiary parties rather than addressing conflicts at their source—takes on epidemic proportions in piece of work settings. Letting off steam by lament nearly other people is a perfectly human thing to do. The problem is that habitual lament about superiors locks us into passivity and resentment. We may accept given upward trying to get through to the sons of bitches, merely past God we don't mind proverb what nosotros think of them—as long as they aren't within earshot.
Caring enough to listen doesn't mean going around selflessly available to everyone you encounter. Rather, it ways being alert to those situations in which someone you intendance about needs to exist listened to. Ironically, our ability to heed is often worst with the people closest to us. Conflict, habit, and the pressure of emotions makes us mind least well where listening is most needed.
When people talk nearly feelings—what they're excited nigh, what'south troubling them—they want to be listened to and acknowledged, not interrupted with communication or told that someone else had a similar feel. They want listeners who will take the time to hear and acknowledge what they're saying, non turn the focus to themselves.
Our parents may be the most important unfinished business organization of our lives.
In spite of the large emotions involved, marriage isn't near monumental issues; it's about trivial things, about everydayness, about knowing that tomorrow morning y'all'll wake up with a new risk to work at it, to become information technology a fleck more than wrong or right....more
This was a cracking reminder to remember to listen. The writer emphasized the the importance of this in piece of work, family, & matrimony relationships. The examples he used were also perfectly relatable. So 4 stars.
The book is organized into four sections:
(1) The Yearning to be Understood
(two) The Real Reasons Why People Don't Heed
(3) Getting Through to Each Other
(4) The Specific Contexts of Listening
The first section
This volume drives dwelling very deeply just how important listening is to whatsoever conversation and relationship you have. The stakes in our interpersonal communication are much higher than you think and the book helps yous tune into the pitfalls that occur as we struggle to understand those effectually us.The book is organized into four sections:
(ane) The Yearning to be Understood
(two) The Real Reasons Why People Don't Heed
(3) Getting Through to Each Other
(iv) The Specific Contexts of Listening
The beginning section describes how good listening is the difference between isolation and acceptance. In our fast paced civilisation, it is the rare person that really takes the fourth dimension to understand and this section really underscores how much of a vacuum is created in our relationships when folks don't actually feel understood. Understanding and cultivating 'empathy' is a large focus here as the author illustrates only how much your child's evolution is impacted by your power to truly heed and sympathize your child. To be quite honest, this section truly shamed me and really gave me a standard to live up to... east.g. our ability understand and be understood is a truly a lost fine art in 21st century America and we could all employ a dose of agreement what true empathy is.
A very telling quote is "People who don't talk to united states of america are people who don't expect us to heed". Key questions that truly shape u.s.a. are: Does the person who isn't very forthcoming with y'all accept reason to believe that yous're interested in what he thinks and feels? That y'all'll listen without interrupting? That yous tin tolerate disagreement? Anger? Openness is a product of interaction.
The second department addresses the barriers to listening. In many means, it should exist no surprise that our cultural and political world is in the poor state it is in today. Narcissism (selfies) and self-promotion take reached a pinnacle at this point 21st Century America and these behaviors are the Verbal OPPOSITE of what is needed to empathise someone else. "The heart of listening is to suspend our own needs... to have an interest in someone else, nosotros must suspend the interests of the self." "An empathetic response is restrained, largely silent; following, non leading; it
encourages the speaker to go deeper into his or her feel." What turns conversations into arguments? The author proposes that high emotional responses are the number one factor in letting a conversation get out of control. The ability to mind rests on how successfully nosotros resist the impulse to react emotionally to the position of the other. A helpful examination of when you lot reacted emotional can unlock some facets of your familial communication and past situation that is really causing you to act in an emotional manner. This is easier said than done.
Finally, the writer advocates for responsive listening as a way to reach better connection. Empathy is accomplished past suspending your ain preoccupations and assumptions and placing yourself
attentively at the service of the other person, beingness alarm to what he's saying and to the emotional
subtext. It means listening without being in a hurry to accept over. Nosotros are taught in the professional world to take control of conversations, so it is no surprise that almost Americans find this extremely difficult. If you are trying to lead an organisation, the terminal thing you lot may want to do is let someone else drive, but, paradoxically, that is precisely what nosotros must do if we desire meaningful connection. Also, we cannot answer to anger when it presents itself, we must allow it run its course and avoid the 'calm down' tendency nosotros desire to publicly pronounce (i must admit, i take said this in the past and this will non at-home anyone down). Another paradox that i found was that offer personal feel to someone you are talking to is, in about cases, the wrong thing to do. True listening is getting the speaker to tease out how they feel and letting them explore their feelings.. offering examples essentially 'steals the flooring' and puts the focus back on you. This can demolition connexion at a disquisitional point in a budding friendship.
Overall, this book gave me some things to work at to improve my listening However, it did accept the unexpected impact of creating a sense of loss and of feeling that this is a hopelessly complex state of affairs. I have made so many mistakes just also can tell that i want to be understood more. I would have liked more than situational awarding and more specificity to understanding how to overcome barriers to listening. Net, this is a great primer on why listening is of import and information technology offers some basic ideas to address. But it needs to go much further to outset giving people a more than concrete path to become a great listener.

Such a great book, with insight into more aspects of listening than I could have imagined.
Michael Nichols starts his book with a uncomplicated observation: most conflicts we bargain with For me, the Lost Art of Listening got on the list of meridian iii most recommendable books. Not because of its outstanding quality merely because of its potential to help enhance all our relationships, with our partners, families, friends, colleagues, co-citizens, relationship of anybody everywhere. Only a few educational monographs aim, I would say, on such a universal target group (the participants in communication).
Michael Nichols starts his book with a simple observation: most conflicts we deal with in our everyday lives result from one simple fact: we don't listen to each other. In 13 chapters, he offers an insightful analysis of what tends to become wrong and gives some good recommendations.
In the Epilogue, he confesses that he is no philosopher and and so he cannot annotate on how bad listening affects our coexistence in one order. His humbleness is inspiring but information technology is especially in times like these when communication experts should proceed pointing out that political cleavages we witness in our societies are withal another instance of our (and our leaders'!) failure to listen to those who try to voice their grievances (no matter how dumb they may sound to us) but stop upwards feeling not listened to, misunderstood and left behind.
Some of my favourite quotes:
"The ability to listen rests on how successfully we resist the impulse to react emotionally to the position of the other... We're virtually reactive to the things we secretly accuse ourselves of." (ch 6)
"Powerful people don't scream." (ch viii)
"Empathy is energizing. Being listened to releases us from heart-searching self-absorption and mobilizes us to engage the world around us." (ch nine)
"The listening we don't get is the listening we don't pass on." (Epilogue) ...more

I finished! Yay! Honestly, it was an okay. The biggest problem is how the book is organized. It's like his stories and his notes were everywhere. I too had a hard time staying engaged in the book and there were some things I already knew. BUT... I did learn several techniques to get a better listen. I noticed how I say things that make me a poor listener and I like that I tin recognize it in myself.One thing that I dearest is when he says: "Under what circumstances do you become reactive and requite advice or interrupt or make jokes instead of listening?"
I love that quote considering it sums upwardly what is considered a poor listener. Sometimes we just need to listen and I forgot how important it is to just heed. People need to be listened to without existence giving communication or your own personal views or ideas. It's bang-up to talk, but it takes great skill to mind. So... All in all, it'due south an okay book. I acquire some new things and gain some new insights, but I did not like how the author wrote his book. It was similar reading his notes and at that place wasn't enough coercion. But I'm glad I'one thousand done. :)

R This is skillful for anyone, it non just explains how to truly heed but it goes way deep into interpersonal relationships in full general. How to handle feelings, how to embrace differenced, how to not exist defensive so on. I tin't even become into all the ways it was helpful because I listened to it on audiobook and I'm a horrible listener so although I felt like each chapter had useful data and i could make use of it correct away, i unremarkably forgot most of it. so i'll have to buy a paper version.
Recommended for Everyone. unless you lot're perfect. If you lot're perfect then dismiss this. :) ...more

Genuine listening involves a suspension of self. Property your tongue while someone speaks is not the aforementioned thing as listening. To actually listen, you have to suspend your own calendar. Forget nigh what you want to say, and concentrate on being a receptive vehicle for the other person.Just because something is simple, doesn't mean it'due south easy. Actively listening is much harder than we believe it is and this book covers the subject from and so many aspects. The author is a family unit therapist and his wisdom comes from years of helping individuals, families and couples to figure out amend ways of communicating - which starts with cultivating better listening skills.
How nosotros communicate - and listen - goes back to how we learned to do that in our families. Our parents may be the well-nigh important unfinished concern of our lives.
We chronicle to people in the present on the basis of expectations from the past. We keep to live in the shadows of the families nosotros grew up in. The sometimes vast difference between words spoken and message intended is nothing compared to the often vaster deviation between what is said and what it heard.
Nichols makes an excellent point nearly cocky acceptance equally the foundation of being an empathetic listener.
When yous are trying to effigy out why you or anyone else overreacts, keep in mind one of the keen ironies of agreement: Nosotros are likely to exist as accepting of others equally we are of ourselves. That's why those lucky enough to be raised with self respect make better listeners. If you learn to respect other people'south feelings, you will learn to treat your own feelings more kindly in the procedure. What we can't tolerate in others is what we can't tolerate in ourselves.
In addressing the hurdles encountered by couples, he has some very profound observations to brand:
A human relationship isn't some yous accept, it's something you practise.
Sometimes marriage isn't about resolving differences, but learning to live together with them.
2nd and third marriages don't fail because people keep picking the wrong partners. They fail considering it's not differences that matter, but how they are negotiated.
If yous want the truth from someone, you must make it rubber for him or her to tell it.
While he addresses listening in the work place in very effective means, I institute the about interesting parts of the volume to be near the challenges of listening to the people who thing the near to us - our family members.
Ironically, our ability to listen is often worst with the people closest to us. Disharmonize, habit and the force per unit area of emotions makes us heed to the lowest degree well where listening is nigh needed. As nosotros move exterior the family circle to those we care about merely don't live with, nosotros tend to be more open up, more receptive and more flexible. Primarily considering those relationships are less encumbered with conflict and resentment.
In struggling to figure out only how much bandwidth I have to truly mind to the people I engage with everyday, I've come up to the conclusion that not every person I encounter needs my full and undivided attention. In fact, at that place are people who demand attention in means that mean it's existence taken away from others in my life who are important to me. Social media demands attention in ways that are oft overwhelming and many times unproductive. Emails come flowing into several electronic mail accounts at all hours, seven days a week, with an immediate response expected. So intentionality is required to make certain that the people who should have our undivided attention are the ones really getting it.
Sometimes it makes sense to write off unrewarding relationships that aren't central to your life. That is a hard thing to do. Ultimately, proverb "no" to that which is unrewarding ways leaving more room for that which is rewarding.
I constitute this book an first-class read. If for no other reason, it reminded me of things I know to exist truthful, but don't e'er practice. Honing the skill of being an active listener is an endeavor worth undertaking.

According to the quiz in this book, it turns out I'yard only an boilerplate listener. High average, but still average. I'm not surprised. I really idea I might score lower than I did. Sometimes listening has been a struggle for me. I knew I'd learn things from this volume equally presently as I saw the title.Here are a few things the authors say get in the manner of listening:
"Beingness preoccupied, trying to practise two things at once, having negative thoughts nigh the speaker, not existence interested in the topic, wanting to say something about yourself, wanting to give advice, wanting to share something like, being judgmental." (Folio 80)
The thing I struggle with most is the desire to give advice. I like to help, just sometimes people but need to talk.
"Genuine listening ways suspending retentiveness, want, and judgment-- and, for a few moments at to the lowest degree, existing for the other person." (Folio 87)
I like the idea that function of existence a adept listener is encouraging the speaker to open up, to continue their thoughts, to elaborate. The book gives some ways to inquire constructive questions that show you're listening.
"Questions that show an awareness of the other person's interests and concerns may assist reticent people open upward."
These questions are more specific and tailored to the private: Instead of "How's everything?" the authors suggest the example, "How are you coming with that project yous've been working on?" There are other examples, but all of them evidence individual, specific interest.
"A good listener may need to set aside his or her own needs to tune in to the other person's, but completely selfless people don't make good listeners. You accept to get listened to yourself to free you up to be receptive." (Page 91)
In that location's a quiz about the different ways people respond when listening. For the answers to the quiz, each number'southward answer is a specific type of response: "(1) is advice, (2) is criticism, (3) is an empathic comment that closes off conversation, (4) is an empathic annotate that opens upwardly chat, and (5) is talking about yourself." It was helpful to see the examples. Clearly, inviting "people to elaborate or go deeper with what they are maxim," by existence a empathic listener is improve. (Folio 105)
The authors cover all kinds of situations that might challenge listening. The concepts are often repetitive, only some of the examples are useful.
When we are emotionally flooded, listening is almost impossible. The authors requite some exercises to do when you're flooded. These are clearly mindfulness related, simply good to call back every bit a tool to go past the natural fight or flight response that can happen when we're emotionally overwhelmed: "Notice five things that yous can see. Find four things that you can hear. Name three things y'all can impact. Name two things y'all can smell." (Page 337)
Maybe saying one prayer for help could cap off the five, four, iii, and ii things to notice nicely.
It takes endeavour to overcome the natural tendencies that impede listening. "Skilful listening doesn't come naturally."
"Listening is a skill, and similar any skill it must be developed. Merely although listening can be looked at this fashion-- as a performance-- it tin also be looked at some other manner, as a natural outgrowth of caring and business for people. " (Page 346) Caring for people is the all-time motive to becoming a meliorate listener.
The authors try to be funny sometimes, which sort of helps. Fifty-fifty though it isn't a particularly entertaining, the volume is informative and helpful. I want to put many of its ideas into practice. I'm glad I read it.

I chose this volume considering: ane) it was so highly recommended, and 2) this is 1 of the core skills of my career (leadership coach, consultant, dominate, etc.). To be honest, I didn't expect to learn a ton. I just wanted to remind myself of what matters and add a archetype in my field to my tool kit. Only information technology was such a proficient volume that I learned a lot.Fundamentally, it's the same truth that I know and teach. Just his power to explicate WHY the techniques work--and when they don't piece of work--was the all-time I've read or heard. One example of a great nugget is (paraphrased in my own words): When someone is complaining to you, they are actually making a veiled request. It could be for comfort, for validation, for you to reply emotionally, etc. You don't have to comply with their request. But you lot do need to acknowledge it. And if you can't comply, instead of just saying no, make an counteroffer with something yous are willing/able to do.
He took a lot longer to explain each of those pieces and give examples of how to exercise it well. But hopefully you tin see that it's non just rote technique in this book.
Topics include listening in full general, plus how yous adjust for: friends, co-workers, bosses/employees, spouses, parents/kids, etc.
Well written and truly important data.

The Lost Art of Listening is an examination of the ways in which communication, and listening in particular, tin can be used to meliorate relationships, whether romantic, friends or family. The author has experience in counseling and splits the volume into sections covering different types of communication issues that come amid individuals and how better listening can improve empathy and allow us to work through bug rather than just continuing the argument or making someone feel ignored.While I like to think that I'm a proficient listener, reading this book gave me a fairly good indication that I'm non quite as good every bit I recall I am. Nichols examines common pitfalls like thinking of what to say next instead of listening and being reactive instead of simply letting someone express themselves without getting judgmental, offer unwanted advice or getting defensive. Nichols provides strategies for many common situations where listening might be a struggle. While post-obit that advice religiously might make you sound similar a therapist, at that place'southward a lot of good advice here and much of information technology I took notes on to aid improve relationships in my life.
If you want to work on communication or accept some time to examine whether listening is really a skill you practise well, this book is well worth picking upwards. It's not perfect, but I found it valuable and there'south enough humor and situational examples to brand it an easy and intriguing read.
