Chapter 1: The Lost Art of Listening

To become a masterful listener, Dr. Doe identifies seven essential pillars:

3. Non-judgment: Approaching the conversation without preconceptions or biases.
4. Feedback: Responding to the speaker to show that you are engaged and understanding.
5. Reflection: Summarizing and clarifying the speaker's message to ensure comprehension.
6. Suspension: Pausing before responding to allow the speaker to fully express themselves.
