You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters by Kate Murphy

An interesting and informative book, but not one I'd push someone to read. Ironically I did housework as I listened to the audiobook. The emphasis on the value of qualitative analysis and listening was nice. So many authors stick to strictly numerical data and discount the power of feelings and finding meaning in interpretation.
Anyone in the humanities & social sciences will enjoy the book. It made me think a bit more about how I listen to others. Being in a caring profession, I know it can really make a difference in someone's day to make them feel heard. Perhaps I can improve my own listening & responses from what I've gathered from the book in personal & professional settings.
