Mindful Listening (HBR Emotional Intelligence Series)
by Peter Bregman
Part of the HBR Emotional Intelligence Series, this guide explores the essential human side of professional life through the lens of mindful communication. The book challenges the common misconception that listening is a passive act, instead framing it as an active, two-way dialogue that builds trust and fosters discovery. Readers will learn how to transition from being a passive 'sponge' to an active 'trampoline' that amplifies and clarifies the ideas of others.
