A short guide to developing the essential skill of active listening. It provides practical information to improve your ability to understand and respond effectively to others.

Although I appreciate the concise read, this book would benefit from some additional editing. If you can manage to navigate through that, you will learn more about active listening and how it can help you in your everyday life (both in the workspace and at home).

Normalmente estos libritos, aunque sencillos, comprimen mucha información o resúmenes en poco espacio. Este creo que hace lo contrario, expande un mensaje muy corto repitiéndolo vez tras vez. Si embargo, creo que se puede sacar lo principal de cómo escuchar:
1. Evita distracciones (lugar, celular, niños, multitarea)
2. Muestra interés mediante lenguaje corporal, preguntas y parafraseo
3. Controla tus emociones (miedo, aversión)
4. No interrumpas
5. Piensa de verdad en el tema y contesta

Sin duda investigar más profundamente sobre estos temas y las técnicas que pueden servir para dominarlos creo que vale la pena.
