Of the posts in the “personal advice” genre from 2020, this is the one that made the biggest impression on me.
The central lesson is that there is a core generator of good listening,, and if you can tap into your curiosity about the other person’s perspective, this both automatically makes you take actions that come off as good listening, and also improves the value of what you do eventually say.
Since reading it, I can supply anecdotal evidence that it’s good advice for people like me. Not only do you naturally sound like one of those highly empathetic people who (if you’re me) you at earlier stages of life regarded as somewhere close to space aliens. But you’re also often wrong, you’re wrong so much, and keeping this post in mind will help you find out how.
