I Hear You: The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships by Michael S. Sorensen

5.0

Despite the absolute fundamental application of this validation principle, I've never heard it spoken of in all my years of communication study. What a pity because incorporating validation will absolutely 110% improve relationships, which is a truly exciting thought. Who DOESN'T want to understand? Who DOESN'T want to be understood?
At its essence, validation is offering the affirmation every human being unconsciously seeks. The only reason I could think of that it would be overlooked in literature would be that it's so basic, so integral, authors must not deem it complicated enough to write about. Again, a pity.
As my own proof of how strongly I feel, I Hear You has been highlighted, marked up, noted, and will be placed next to my very few other "to re-read" books, once it's made the rounds of everyone I recommended it to.
I won this book off a Giveaway and am genuinely glad I did.
