Listening and learning

This book has genuinely changed my life! I love listening and jotting down key takeaways as I go. I’ve been following Jefferson on Instagram for a while and always enjoy his quick, insightful videos on communication. Hearing him narrate his own book adds so much depth to the concepts he shares in his reels—I often catch myself binge-watching them back to back! Listening to him describe real-life examples and techniques are truly priceless. His Instagram account is awesome, but this audiobook offers so much more and it is the icing on the cake!

Definitely worth a listen

This book is a lot of repeat of his podcast, which I highly recommended. I personally like it and will listen to it several times as the subject matter needs to be practiced. I plan on setting out stick notes for reminders. This is a truly important topic. I think this should be taught earlier in life, but better late than never. I think it will help with our children as well as adults I’ve spent years listening and reading up on emotional intelligence, I’m a very reactive emotional person so I need this in my life. I suffer anxiety but have difficulty taking most medications so I choose to take the time to learn about my behaviour and my communication with loved ones. It’s difficult but well worth it because isn’t that really the point in life to grow as humans. Better communication can solve so many problems before they start. I think Jefferson is easy to listen to and lays it out in easy to understand format. Unlike a lot of personal growth books this book is not filled with boring case studies It’s all very logical and makes sense. Simple and practical. Thank you Jefferson for giving us these tools to change our mindset and be better humans.
