This review is from: The Gift to Listen, the Courage to Hear (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to improve their listen skills and deepen their counselling or friendship skills.

I found the writing warm and sincere, and the suggestions for improving listening skills were practical and valuable.

If more people read this book, the world would be a better place.
