How to Speak How to Listen

Over forty years ago Mortimer J. Adler wrote the classic 'How to Read a Book'. It became an instant bestseller, and its worldwide sales today total over 7 million copies. Now Mr. Adler has written a companion book-'How to Speak/How to Listen'-that his audience will find just as provocative as its predecessor. Drawing on decades of experience as educator and philosopher, Adler gives the reader a short course in effective communication filled with the Adler wisdom and wit. Both instructive and practical, 'How to Speak/How to Listen' will be invaluable to everyone: salespeople and executives involved in conferences and negotiations, politicians, lecturers, and teachers, as well as families seeking to improve communication among themselves.
