Praise for Right Listening ...
“Right Listening is a delight. It is simple, direct and pro-found; easy to read and follow. People crave attention and
understanding, and this book will help those in all relation-ships improve their ability to connect, listen and love.”
~ Frederic Luskin, author Forgive for Good
Director, Stanford Forgiveness Project
“This delightful little book contains huge treasures, the ones that can bring us back into the joy of being human
together. I imagine that if a reader only focused on two or three of the many skills given here, that they would quickly
become skilled in listening, and would fall in love with the places that real conversation always takes us.”
~ Margaret J. Wheatley, author

Leadership and the New Science

more productivity should read this. It’s fun, easy to read and speaks to the heart of the matter. I think it’s a winner.”

Praise for A Little Book of Listening Skills ...
“The foundation of good teaching is the ability to listen. Although Mark Brady and Jennifer Leigh write for a much
broader audience, he has provided an indispensable tool – actually, a great gift – for classroom instructors. I will
carry A Little Book of Listening Skills in my pocket on a daily basis.”
~ Mary Fainsod Katzenstein, Ph.D.

Cornell University
“Reading A Little Book of Listening Skills should be required for all human beings, as soon as they can read and as
long as their eyesight allows. The fundamentals of listening, articulated so clearly, spell out how to achieve this
distinctly human skill. Don’t pass up the opportunity to deepen your skill, regardless of your current level of
proficiency. We can all become deeper, stronger and better listeners.”
