Highly recommend This book is quick, to the point, with actionable tips and examples so you can be a better friend/etc This book also helped me see why this last year i drifted away from some friends while getting closer to others. It came down to the simple fact that those I “left” were always invalidating me and those I became closer to showed empathy or compassion or could at least say “that sucks” instead of “don’t worry be happy” Words matter. How we respond to people matters. Both of these have far more effect on your relationships/interactions than your “good” intentions.

This is a book I definitely recommend for all readers hoping to improve their relationships. I am glad I got this book free from Goodreads. This is a quick, easy read that’s written in a conversation style. In this age of technology, we need a book like this to help in our relationships. It helps you validate your friends and family and connect more successfully with them. Michael Sorensen seems to know your questions almost before you think of it and gives you the answer.

If there is anything I’ve learned from I Hear You: The Surprisingly Simple Skill Behind Extraordinary Relationships, that has to be the word “validation” and its true meaning in any relationships. Michael Sorensen knows what’s driving a meaningful and healthy conversation, which makes this book worth reading again and again.
