How To Be A Good Listener

Listening is something we’re very reluctant to do, not because we’re lazy, but because we have never actually been taught how to do it properly, in a way that can be interesting and rewarding for us.

It is in no way simple for a prototypical adult to be able to miss anyone and we are often, almost without knowing it, engaged in complex manoeuvres to ensure that we resolutely won’t…” MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE Watch more films on SELF in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLself SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-school-of-life-for-business/ CREDITS Produced in collaboration with: Nicky Francis https://www.nicolajanefrancis.com/ Title animation produced in collaboration with Graeme Probert www.gpmotion.co.uk relationships,love,emotional maturity,vulnerability,connection,attachment theory,communication,self-reflection,personal growth,psychology,missing someone,long distance relationships,coping with absence,healthy relationships,emotional intelligence,emotional baggage,fear of intimacy,letting go,heartbreak,self-love,how to deal with missing someone,the importance of missing someone,the fear of missing someone,loss,lonely,power,friendships,social interaction,how to Learn more about your ad choices.

The speaker smiled, and immediately confounded his German interpreter by beginning his presentation with the words: ‘Mais je ne suis qu’un déconneur’ / ‘But I’m just a joker’.
