| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press Introspection made me a believer. |
| Not only have I more readily noticed the subtle cues of others, I have reflected on previous events and laughed at myself for what I was really saying. I could go on and on with examples, but this book should be appreciated by the reader. I will say it was a unique, refreshing and insightful experience. |
| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press Nice cover and idea, nonsensical content |
| Absolute nonsense. Takes a few sources of anecdotal evidence and tries to turn into something scientific. Pass. |
| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press great title,little content |
| This book takes a simple idea---that we all have slips of the tongue and you can learn what is on a person's mind from them---and turns it into a book which repeats it,over and over again,without any illumination. |
| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press Groundbreaking Work |
| This is an outstanding, groundbreaking contribution to the scientific study of unconscious processes which, at the same time, is a practical guide to understanding unconscious communication in everyday life. I reccomend it without reservation. |
| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press fraught with errors, redundant |
| I was fascinated by the subject and couldn't wait to read the book. Within the first 60 pages, I noted 5 errors. This book needed a better proofreading staff. I also got sick of reading that I had to understand the context of certain remarks to understand the 'deep meaning.' It was redundantly stated with every example. I understood Dr. Haskell's position that reading about many examples of 'deep listening' would make it easier to listen deeply, but to read with nearly every example that in order to understand the 'deep meaning,' I would have to understand the context of the remarks was annoying and boring. I love the topic, but I can't recommend this book to anyone. If you're really interested, see if your local library has a copy. Don't buy this book. You'll be sorry. I am. |
| Deep Listening: Hidden Meanings in Everyday Conversation by Da Capo Press Product Description |
What do we really mean when we make embarrassing mistakes in conversation? Is there such a thing as inadvertent insult or a slip of the tongue? Exploring outside influences and the connections to our dream world, Dr. Robert Haskell guides us through the fascinating terrain of the unconscious, showing how our minds use feelings, sounds, and language to simultaneously hide and reveal what we secretly think and feel. Filled with intriguing and amusing illustrations from every day life, Deep Listening provides the key to unlocking the real feelings and meanings behind our interactions with family, friends, and co-workers. |
