Do: Listen teaches a skill as unusual as it is everyday: how to listen. While other entries in the Do Book series will teach you the principles of design, of effective email, or of taking a break, Bobette Buster's second effort for the Do Book Company focuses on a skill that we normally see as passive. But listening, she argues, underpins everything. It is the cornerstone of respect. It is the basic requirement to being successful with others, and to understanding yourself. But above all, she argues, listening is a courageous act, because it requires us to to be open to change. Do: Listen aims to transform your habits into those of a good listener – to be silent, to ask simple questions at the right time – noting, quite simply, that 'new things usually happen after you do this'.
