Just Listen

Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone

By: Mark Goulston MD

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, business consultant, and coach, author Mark Goulston combines his background with the latest scientific research to help listeners turn the "impossible" and "unreachable" people in their lives into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime friends. Just Listen provides simple but powerful techniques listeners can use to really get through to people.

You'll learn how to: make a powerful and positive first impression; listen effectively; make even a total stranger (potential client) feel understood; talk an angry or aggressive person away from an instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational mindset; and achieve buy-in - the linchpin of all persuasion, negotiation, and sales.

Whether they're coworkers, friends, strangers, or enemies, the first make-or-break step in persuading anyone to do anything is getting them to hear you out. With this groundbreaking audiobook, listeners will be able to master the fine but critical art of effective communication.

wow

third time thru. twice as much gleaned. this one is for the monthly re read pile.

I am a raving fan after listening to this audio book.

The information in this book is golden. I want to listen to this over and over until everything in this book is deeply embedded and natural. I will be buying the hard copy of this book, recommending it, and reading Mark’s Other books. This book made me want to set down with the author over tea and just listen to him speak so I could soak up all his years of wisdom and knowledge.

Power tools for better communication

I've read this book twice now. will read it again. it has so much simple yet deep insight that I wish I had found it as soon as it came out. It is well written, interesting and useful. If you want to improve your communication, and your life, this book may be the best place to begin!

a new take on listening

Giving practical "to do's" when it comes to listening well made this book well worth the read.

True gem !!

Love everything about this book. Will listen again till the techniques become second nature. Thank you for this amazing gem !

Insightful with a Bit of Humor

I thought this book might be a little dry and after reading the summary wasn’t sure I wanted to read it for improvement at work. I gave it a chance and was glad to find it incredibly insightful for work and personal life. Having thought of myself as a good listener, I realized that to not be the case. The book was written in short chapters that allowed me to quickly work on applying lessons learned before completing. I look forward to seeing the evolution of my listening skills with further application of what I have heard. As a new parent I also flagged some sections to come back to, as I am sure I will be dealing with how to communicate with a teenager soon enough.

Great Applied EQ

I can tell that the author practices EQ in his life & uses it to help others, I find this to be admirable and a great example of how to apply the principles in practical everyday ways. Didn’t have the chance to learn EQ in learning institutions and now that I have found the importance of it I believe this book is a rudimentary step in that process.

Great ideas

This is probably the first book I’ve listened to of this type- where the main focus is to get better at communicating with others. Whereas a fair amount of the examples he gives don’t apply to me or my daily situations, there were a some that did and I’m thankful to have gained that information from this audiobook.

This book has changed my life

I’ll be listening to this book several times over again for I know I have not retained all the valuable information Dr. Mark has given us. There is not a person on earth who couldn’t learn something from this book.

Awesome listen.

I recommend the book and audiobook. Gives a useful information in really learning to listen. Hope I get to practice and incorporate this in my life.
