About this listen

Deborah Tannen's number-one best seller revolutionized the way men and women talk - and listen - to each other - at home, at work, and wherever the communication gap between the sexes can lead to troublesome misunderstandings. The problem dates back to childhood, when boys and girls learn to use language in distinctly different ways; years later, their adult efforts to talk often place them at cross purposes - even when both are sincerely trying to communicate. Dr. Tannen illustrates how the best intentions can go painfully awry between spouses, family members, co-workers and friends. With You Just Don't Understand, you'll recognize yourself and your own efforts to be understood - and gain valuable insight to help you communicate better than ever before.

Excellent

It's a book about behavioural psychology that naturally works as a self-help book.
Like most good books of its kind, much of what you learn you sort of already knew in one way or another, either subconsciously or with loose conception, simply by having lived a considered life. The book therefore brings those things into clear view and discusses them at length, resulting in a sharp lens through which you might understand the humans around you, both in hindsight and in the present.

The narration is fantastic. Normally I say thay non fiction really needs to be read by the author, but in this case the narration is so good that I didn't even realise it was not the author until a chapter in. (Normally I can tell by the way they speak)

Absolutely Sensational

So insightful. So beautifully explained. Worth every single penny. This book has allowed me to re-examine so many conversations that I have had in my life and understand not only why they ended up in a particular way but also why I felt the way I did at the time those conversations were happening. Gold dust. Thank you Deborah Tannen.

Boring!

I listen to 1-2 books/week and I find this one very boring. Many stories/dialogues and it is not easy to understand the point.
