Resumen del Editor

Learn to connect, create rapport, develop trust, and build deep relationships.

In this day and age, the art of deep listening is a superpower. If you can make someone feel heard and important, you are on the highway to their heart. And it’s not as difficult or complex as you think.

How to go from stranger to cherished friend in record time.

How to Listen with Intention is ultimately an audiobook about relationships. A relationship must be give-and-take - are you taking more than you are giving? Are you making people feel comfortable opening up to you? Are you listening well, or unwittingly being a conversational/relationship narcissist?

It’s time to ask these difficult questions and learn the skills to not only help people in times of need, but create new friendships with just about anyone - after all, who doesn’t like to be heard?

Increase your emotional intelligence and people analyzing skills.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real-life experience.

Understand people two levels beneath their actual words.

• The most damaging mindsets for listening.
• How we are all biologically programmed to be terrible listeners, and we have no idea about it.
• The one person you should emulate for better listening.
• How listening styles, frames, and levels can help you - and how you are not even close to what you think you are.
• The concept of active, reflective listening, and why it’s so tough.
• Reading people, emotional intelligence, and empathy.

Become the most trusted ally and source of comfort and understanding.

Ease people’s burdens, and they will help you with yours. If you want to improve the quality of your relationships, understand conflict resolution, hear people’s deepest desires, and jump into people’s inner circles, this is the audiobook for you. You are about to learn the most valuable interpresonal skill of all, even more important than witty banter and charisma.

Speak up, be heard, and get ready to listen. Buy this audiobook now and start your journey.

Great Tips

This (audio)book offers great tips for improving listening skills. It complements other approaches like Motivational Interviewing.

Good Basics

Started a bit slowly for me, but it picked up pretty quickly, and by the end I didn't regret the listen. Very good foundational techniques and advice. I think many of us who struggle with anxiety around socializing and communicatttrd might benefit from this short and simple, yet faintly substantive book, in my humble opinion.

Great book

Loved it!! I hope that I am able to utilize all the listening skills I learned from listening to this book!

Great Learning Tool in the Kit of Comminication.

I'm in the midst of a few pivotal life shifts and I felt it deeply necessary to figure out where I've been going...well not wrong, but certainly not being my best self when engaging with others. Communication has always been a stumbling block for me due to various reasons (unaddressed traumas etc). I now realize that listening has also been an issue in some areas as I'm a 'heart' listener.

This book is a 'simple listen' which is something I certainly needed considering the heaviness going on. The examples and 'takeaways' were helpful and easily digestible. I can immediately begin to see where I struggle and begin the process of becoming self-aware of my frames of mind along with others. What listening types I'm engaging with and how to inevitably be more forthright yet more empathetic and willing to grow WITH people (when applicable because I can't make someone listen to me etc..)

If you're desiring more in-depth communication engagements, this is a great start for aligning your own tool kit on the road to healing oneself, and your relationships and perhaps becoming a stronger community.

Great for learning how to communicate

This book is helpful for building closer relationships. It teaches you how to really listen, hear, and feel your partners words and what they are going through. It teaches you how to respond as well as feeling empathy. I highly recommend this book for people learning to communicate emotionally and creating deeper better relationships.

Very Informative Book

Good book to explain the power of good listening to strengthen your personal and professional relationships.

Great Read

was exactly what I needed to understand better communication. I needed this for work and is also very clear and helpful in normal conversation.

How to improve your listening skills.

This book provides the information that will improve your listening skills. Very good and easy to put to use.

Pretty redundant

Very redundant and repetitive. The book is definitely for a more foundational reader. Felt ready to end it pretty early on.

Like listening to a textbook

A few nuggets of valuable information for sure. Boring and redundant if you ask me.
