Steve Shapiro
1 Sage Advice
This book reminded of the importance of great listening and motivated me to improve my listening skills. It is a short book, but that is because the author get's to the point quickly and makes it clearly. Bravo!
2 Fresh insights on a vital life skill
I was expecting platitudes -- or at least a rehash of all the advice I've ever heard about the importance of listening. Instead I found a fresh voice, a different angle, and a neat, concise, well-packaged message. In very few pages, the author painted a crystal clear picture of WHY I need to be a better listener and then went on to tell me HOW to accomplish it in a way that I felt empowered to immediately go out and do so. This book rises to the top of self-help/business literature because of the author's wonderful language skills and keen insights. It is important because it speaks of a skill that is important for ANY relationship, personal or professional.
3 A great book!
Shapiro outlines the forgotten truth about how effective and productive communication takes place. What he suggests in his book is obvious and seemingly simple methodology, yet not easy to carry out. This book is a wonderful reminder of how important it is to ask and listen rather than to talk and talk more and challenges the reader to become a more caring and effective listener when dealing with the many relationships in one's life. I highly recommend it!
