Although the last thing anyone wants is yet another lecture about how cell phones are ruining the world and this is a little bit that, it's also a quick and interesting reminder of the benefits of cultivating curiosity for the people around you.

While I agree with most of the conclusions the author wrote about, the book itself felt too long (despite being rather short), and very preachy.

Ironically - I er, listened, to the audible version of this. It was fantastic - coming from the perspective of a journalist, Kate Murphy's insights on listening go beyond the "advice" column and into examples, suggestions, and some of the amazing things she's uncovered for (and about) both people AND listening. I'll be re-reading this soon with an eye to take notes!
