Expecting a how-to book on attentive listening and narrative competency this rather quickly turned into a string of personal anecdotes.

This one was a bit unusual for me. Having read (and being incredibly moved) Morris’ previous two books, I found this one very different. I was expecting Morris to share the stories she’s been sent, since publishing her previous books, to help spread the positivity and uplifting messages. But instead this is more of a memoir/musings from Morris as she tells the story of how she came to meet Lale to listen to his story, and to impart her wisdom of being a good listener. Whilst the messages, hints and tips she passes on are helpful, it feels more like a filler and I never really got the stories I was hoping for. She does talk about the next book she’s working on; and I’m looking forward to reading that.
