You’re Not Listening: What You’re Missing and Why It Matters

You’re Not Listening by Kate Murphy is a witty and insightful exploration of why genuine listening has become so rare—and how rediscovering it can transform our relationships, work, and society.

Blending science, psychology, and real-world stories—from CIA agents to bartenders—Murphy reveals how our obsession with talking and technology has made us lonelier and more disconnected. Both a cultural critique and a practical guide, this book teaches us how to truly listen and reconnect in a world that’s forgotten how.
