Summary

Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, business consultant, and coach, author Mark Goulston combines his background with the latest scientific research to help listeners turn the "impossible" and "unreachable" people in their lives into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime friends. Just Listen provides simple but powerful techniques listeners can use to really get through to people.

You'll learn how to: make a powerful and positive first impression; listen effectively; make even a total stranger (potential client) feel understood; talk an angry or aggressive person away from an instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational mindset; and achieve buy-in - the linchpin of all persuasion, negotiation, and sales.

Whether they're coworkers, friends, strangers, or enemies, the first make-or-break step in persuading anyone to do anything is getting them to hear you out. With this groundbreaking audiobook, listeners will be able to master the fine but critical art of effective communication.

A must listen for managers!

I’ve listened to this book twice in 2 months. Not because I didn’t understand it, but because there’s so much gold in here you need at least two reads to begin to implement the teachings properly. It has changed my life, at work and at home.

Life changing

I listen to, and read, a lot of non fiction, much of which tends to be in the areas of business, sales, and psychology.

So... When I I say that Mark Goulston has written the most indispensable book I have ever read, I do not say so lightly.

This is the book I wish I had read at the start of my career. And again at several points during my career. It is also a book I am very grateful to have finally read now, and I have recommended it to dozens of people.

Essential listening / reading.

Powerful communication insights

I always believed that words can change the world. MG confirmed this by offering some powerful communication insights which I have been using and can confirm they work.
Also the voice was incredibly smooth and helped many times to calm my overthinking brain.

Constant reminders how this book will help

Every 5 minutes reminding you how this book will help. Constant lists of who this will help you communicate with. No chapter titles. 1 hour in and only 1 point which is an obvious one.
