Review: I just recently read this book, and was amazed at what I needed to learn, for professional and personal reasons. This book shows you areas where people, businesses and organizations are lacking in communication skills due to the fact that we don't listen and we are not being heard. In this book, the Author Madelyn Burley-Allen, with her years of research and teaching on this subject, she gives you ways of improving your listening communication skills as well as how to speak effectively so that you are listened to. This book provides vital solutions for improving your listening and communication skills. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Summary: Excellent book - revealing and practical
Review: I strongly recommend this book for just about everyone. I believe that most of us have huge room for improvement in the area of listening ( if you don't agree, the author will probably convince you of this). The book provides information on typical listening styles, why most of us listen the way we do, and methods for improving your skills. Unlike some other books which confine themselves to the detrimental effects of not listening properly, this one gives you plenty of practical guidance on things you can do to enhance your abilities in this most difficult of communication skills.

Summary: Excellent reference and guide
Review: This book is written mainly for the business audience, but all the principles are applicable to every situation. The author is very good at explaining scenarios and solutions. Other authors spend the bulk of their time explaining why we need to listen, but Burley-Allen spends the bulk of her time explaining how to listen. That alone places this book on a more productive plane than most books on this topic. You'll be impressed with how things change in your inter-personal communication at work and at home with the adoption of even a few principles from this book.
