Så var det dags för utprovning av material till Ledarskap och Organisation-kursen. Någon här på goodreads sade att den här är "enkel och praktisk", vilket stämmer, och det är väl alltid bra att påminna sig själv om att vara en god lyssnare. I efterord kallar författaren sig själv "self-help junkie" och det är ju lite kul.
I hear you is officially going on my list of books that every human being ever should read.
This is one of those missing links that so many of us, myself included, struggle with in relationships. We think we’re being helpful when we offer advice, but more often than not, we’re just shutting that person down. Which seems awfully ridiculous when we often vent to those same people, and feel shut down and frustrated when they do the same things to us
It’s a short read, but even if it weren’t, it would be worth every page.

I picked this book up after being told I was bad a validation. This it probably the best self-helf book i've read. Straight to the point, actionable advice, clear examples, and you can keep going back to it.

A quick easy read, excellently explained, and extremely helpful. Planning on reading this one again. I am a person that often validates naturally but reading this has placed it at the front of my mind before I respond. So I find myself now following this advice more intentionally. And really paying attention to not providing unsolicited advice.
Improving communication skills - always helpful and not always simple or straightforward. I Hear You is a relatively quick read that provides excellent observations and steps to improve a basic skill - validation.
Loved this book. Sorensen earned my trust right away by explaining that he wanted to provide a book that was just as long as it needed to be and not superfluous. His honesty and dedication to that fact made me really appreciate the book from the start. My therapist recommended this as another source of deeper understanding for validating and I absolutely loved it. It’s a skill I’ve been learning, deepening, and practicing already and this enhanced my understanding of validation more deeply. I loved three things especially: 1. The book includes self-validation as well as validation of others. Both are SO important (but I struggle with self-validation). 2. The example scenarios felt general enough to be relatable yet specific enough to help cover a lot of situations and expand my tools for validating. 3. Sorensen made this groundbreaking point (for me anyway) that we should wait to provide solutions because people usually already have the solutions formulated to some degree. What they’re really looking for is support and confirmation of their feelings. We honor their agency and intelligence more by offering that validation and just letting them ask us if they want solutions. Really great read, would definitely recommend.
I give this book four stars as I wish that it was backed more from a Psychological standpoint rather then a more personal experience one. Regardless I still took away many things I can apply to my own life and see what happens.
