The Art of Listening
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."
-Stephen R. Covey
Before discovering the science of speech, it is critical to master the art of listening. Eardrums, however, are not enough; it is necessary to quiet the heart and mind to truly absorb what others have to say. The widespread difficulty in doing so accounts for a global reality that is replete with misunderstanding. This lesson turns to Talmudic wisdoms that shed remarkably relevant light on universal impediments to listening and the importance of active listening and processing. |
