I rated this book 5 *****'s
What a very inspirational read
This is my 2nd book that I have read from the author. I enjoyed reading this book. What a very inspirational book to read. I admit I do not listen well especially when my husband is talking and sometimes with kids especially when I am in hurry.
Listening is so powerful especially when your family or friends is down and facing problems that is too much to handle for them. Lending your ears will ease their pain a little. Just being there for them and listen brings them comfort.
This book has so many inspirational quotes that will help you focus in your life. They were so many of them. The end of each chapters is very nice to read. Beautiful stories that motivates to go on with life aim for that dreams and be successful.
Praise for The Wisdom of Listening:
"Every life has a story and, no matter our background, we share similar hopes, dreams and fears. This book not only gives you insight into the varied lives of its subjects but, through Marilyn's reflections, shows how we each walk a similar spiritual path."
- Robbin Whachell, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Bahamas Weekly
"Marilyn shows us, through her compassionate and incisive interviews, how to grasp and link those golden moments, like sparkling prisms of light, into an animated and profound acceptance of ourselves, the people we encounter, the relationships we build, and the dreams that will set us free."
- Gabriella Contestabile, Author, Founder of Su Misura Sensory Journeys
“I was reminded we are collectively each walking our own paths, but often experience similar emotions, feelings, obstacles, challenges, triumphs, rewards and successes. We all learn as we go and we all become wiser as time passes. This is humanity. The diversity in each of us as a whole is awesome.”
- RozeMerie Cuevas, Co-Founder and Designer at JAC by Jacqueline Conoir
