If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?: My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating by Alan Alda

3.0

Pretty good. Do yourself a favour and get the audiobook version -- Alda narrates it and his voice is welcome in my car any day, plus he's a slow talker so turning the speed up a bit works well. The lessons are limited yet VERY VALUABLE, and repeated with many examples so I got the message. It's a good message: I'm not communicating unless my listener is engaged and listening -- it's my job to communicate in a way that engages the listener. Good clinical skill, teaching skill, life skill. It's all about empathy -- meet the other where the other is at. I finished this is one four-hour drive.
