Listen Up: At Home, at Work, in Relationships: How to Harness the Power of Effective Listening

Rating:
Summary: Faux academic writing at its worst
Review: This is the most asinine book it has ever been my misfortune to encounter.

There are copious references and footnotes to such authorities as Dr John Gray, PhD, and 20/20. Their lesser known sources (and blurb authors) tend to be people they themselves have published at 'SPECTRA, Inc.'

"Remove or reduce distractions by turning off TVs and machines" (p.93)
Thanks a lot.
Sometimes we're too tired to listen, it seems. In such cases, one should "Ask for a listening break...ask to be excused to go to the restroom" (p.80)
Thanks another lot.
