Understand what’s really being said. Find a new way forward.

Why is it that we seem astonished, even grateful, when someone really listens to us? When they lean in and give us their time and attention.

Over two decades, story consultant Bobette Buster has listened to over 10,000 stories in person. She observed that active listening could have a transformative effect, on both speaker and listener. It led to deeper connections, moments of wonder, even breakthroughs.

Do Listen is about rediscovering the lost art of listening. With expert wisdom, simple exercises, film references and compelling stories, it will help you to hone this essential skill, and improve your conversations and relationships. Yes, listening can take time. It can be uncomfortable. Yet it can also be a strategy. And sometimes, the most important thing you ever do.

What if we each took five minutes a day to actively listen? How might our world change?
