About this listen
Good communiation is essential to any healthy relationship, whether it's between spouses, family members, friends, or co-workers. In this book Susan Chapman, a marriage and family therapist and a longtime meditation teacher, explains how mindfulness can be brought to bear in the way we speak and listen to each other so that we can strengthen our connections and better accomplish our goals. Drawing on Buddhist principles and on her training as a psychotherapist, Chapman explains how the practice of mindfulness - learning to become fully present in the moment - makes it possible for us to listen more deeply to others and to develop greater clarity and confidence about how to respond.
Chapman highlights five key elements of mindful communication: silence, mirroring, encouraging, discerning, and responding, and she dedicates a chapter of the book to each. Other topics include identifying your communication patterns and habits; uncovering the hidden fears that often sabotage communication; staying open in the midst of difficult conversations so that we can respond wisely and skillfully; and learning how mindful communication can help us to become more truthful, compassionate, and flexible in our relationships.

Excellent book very eye opening
This book was very well written and performed. The messages throughout the book makes you really sit with your and think about conversations you’ve experienced in past and present relationships and the affects your words had on their outcome.
Just finished listening to it but I believe I will repeatedly listen to it to try and grasp the concepts.

Generous
This is one is a keeper for me. After listening to it once, I'm going over it again at a slower pace. I want to take it in chunks to allow myself more contemplation, notes, and some visuals to go on my daily board.
The reader is great as well. She has a very pleasant intonation and rhythm.

invaluable
Best serendipitous discovery so far on this app. The distilled wisdom of many is crystallized here. Bears re-listening well.

Very informal and interesting book but the narration is absolutely terrible
The book itself is very good as it combines perfectly relationship psychology with Buddhism.
The main problem here is the narration, the volume is uneven. It is very annoying and distracting and because of this, I felt like stopping my read many times.

Great book and solid advice
This is a book I will come back to again. There are journal exercises to help you reflect on what you’ve learned from each chapter. As well as really solid advice on how to communicate with anyone you will come in contact with in life from loved ones to friends to coworkers. I recommend this book to everyone, especially if you are a leader in some way, shape or form.
10/10 great book.

Humbling, Funny, Relateable
This book was a slow read for me because I had so much to absorb. It has greatly impacted my relationships already. All of it is simple to understand, and doesn't feel judgemental or shameful. Will read again, without a doubt.
