The article discusses the importance of deep listening, especially in a polarized society where meaningful conversations are rare. It reveals a study examining how training in deep listening can change interactions among individuals who disagree. Participants underwent a three-week program focusing on empathetic listening and overcoming biases. The results suggest that those trained in deep listening not only engaged better but also became more open to new perspectives, highlighting its potential in improving personal relationships and workplace communications.
But what if listening- real listening-could change that?
It's not just hearing words-it's allowing ourselves to be present, to absorb without immediately reacting.
We explored whether people could be trained to listen in a way that fosters openness, connection, and even attitudinal change.
When people feel heard, they reflect more and become open to new perspectives.
