Butterfinger Wow! Is "Break a leg!" appropriate? 4y
Alora Hahaha @Butterfinger definitely not! 😭😂 That would be terrible lmao 4y
Butterfinger @Alora I am so sorry. I saw casting, not the name of the show. Very stupid of me. I was in theatre and my mind went there before I noticed it was an intense reality show. Please forgive me. 4y
Alora @Butterfinger Lol no worries at all! That was funny lol considering its a survival show haha 😂 4y
Butterfinger @Alora fingers are crossed. I hope you get it so I can say I sorta know her. 😃😜 4y
Geenie 🤩🥳 4y
Nute That‘s really exciting! I always thought that it would be cool to do The Amazing Race and maybe Survivor. I‘m already pulling for you!👍🏽 4y
Alora @Nute thank you! Both of them would be awesome to do! I love survivor 4y

This was an engaging and insightful book. Kate Murphy does an excellent job of pointing out one's flaws in how you listen, in a way that doesn't make you feel like a terrible person, and then shows you how to do it better. She also did some major research for this book, talking to many professionals in various fields of communication including, a retired CIA Agent. Overall an enjoyable and well written book.

Thrilled I got to read this ahead of its 1/2020 release. Make listening better your New Year‘s resolution—I know this book has inspired me to do it. I learned a ton, and the author kept me engaged by balancing research, interviews, and analysis. Her experts contributed great stories too. For your own sake, give it a go!

BarbaraTheBibliophage #TIL That the average attention span of a goldfish is longer than the average attention span of a human. (Per a study from Microsoft) 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage #TIL That listening to opposing opinions activates the amygdala in your brain. That‘s your “fight or flight” instinct. No wonder it makes our hearts pound to have those contentious conversations! 4y
rsteve388 Wow a gold fish has a better attention span then me... That's just sad. 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rsteve388 It is shocking, right? 4y
