Listen actively to what's not being said from "summary" of Como decifrar mentes by David J. Lieberman
When we engage in a conversation with someone, it is crucial to pay attention not only to the words they are saying but also to the messages that they are not expressing verbally. People often convey a great deal of information through their body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. By tuning in to these nonverbal cues, we can gain a deeper understanding of what the other person is truly thinking and feeling. Active listening involves not only hearing the words that are spoken but also interpreting the underlying emotions and intentions behind those words. For example, someone may say that they are fine, but their crossed arms and furrowed brow may suggest otherwise. By observing these subtle cues, we can pick up on discrepancies between what is being said and what is being felt. In order to become a more effective communicator, we must hone our skills in reading between the lines. This means being attuned to the nuances of human interaction and recognizing when there is more to a conversation than meets the eye. By listening actively to what is not being said, we can avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications that can arise when we only focus on the surface level of dialogue. Furthermore, by paying attention to nonverbal cues, we can build stronger connections with others and demonstrate that we truly care about their thoughts and feelings. When we show that we are attuned to the unspoken messages that accompany verbal communication, we can foster trust and rapport in our relationships.- Active listening involves more than just hearing words – it requires us to tune in to the emotions, intentions, and unspoken messages that are conveyed through body language and tone of voice. By sharpening our skills in deciphering these nonverbal cues, we can become more effective communicators and deepen our connections with others.
