Be an effective listener

Communication skills are so important in daily life, whether it is for friends and family or in a business environment. This audiobook helped me to become a better communicator. To me, the best part is to learn to become an effective listener. Because it is by listening well that we can really communicate with each other. Also, I like non-verbal communication, which goes deeper than just the speech you are making. Breaking the ice is also very useful for me as I often find it difficult or embarrassing to start a conversation. This audiobook is useful for anyone who is trying to improve communication skills and the guidelines are practical and easy to follow.

Listen Better, Live Better

You know that moment when you're nodding along in a conversation but not really hearing a word? This book totally called me out on that - in the best way possible! The practical exercises for active listening literally changed how I handle morning meetings with my team. While some of the conflict resolution scenarios felt a bit too workplace-focused, the overall techniques are really adaptable. I particularly appreciated the reflecting moments scattered throughout - they gave me time to process what I was learning. This is not just another communication book - this one actually sticks with you because it makes you practice what it preaches. It made me realize I was a way worse listener than I thought, but now I catch myself using these techniques without even thinking about it.

Only 7% of communication is verbal

As you’d hope from a title on this topic, Cruz’s audiobook establishes its authority by its own eloquence and perspicacity. At first you might think that the topic is hackneyed, yet the book is at once fascinatingly full of fresh insights and a pleasure to listen to. Burney’s narration is A1 – her voice is unusually mellow, engaging, and authentic, while Cruz’s content convincingly demonstrates that effective communication is the key to human connection and success in any context. As a psychologist and sociologist, she argues that language is more than words – it’s also about trust, listening well, our intentions, and the messages we send holistically — and what’s more, we can train ourselves to practice conscious communication to make it more effective. While balancing an effective and accessible stance between popular science and self-help, the book is also unexpectedly lyrical because of its heavy use of metaphor. However, I’d go a little easier in comparing communication to symphonies and dance. Nonetheless, it’s rare to find a book that is so compelling overall. Thumbs up!
