The power of listening becomes a weapon in life.

Description
Book Introduction
Arguably the simplest communication skill anyone can practice!
More important than speaking skills is the ability to listen.
“Are you a good listener?”
Not many people would confidently answer 'yes!'
Have you ever had these concerns?
“I don’t know what to say to someone I just met.”
“I think it’s important to give meaningful advice when someone confides in you about their concerns.”
“I think that speaking skills are important for maintaining good relationships.”
We have long believed that fluent speaking and a witty sense of humor are essential for successful relationships.
However, Mihiro Matsuda, author of “The Power of Listening Becomes a Weapon in Life,” speaks firmly based on her experience of talking to countless people for over 20 years.
“You don’t need to be fluent in speaking.
The important thing is to listen to the other person's story sincerely, and that alone is enough."
Just by listening, you can create miracles that change your relationships.
It's okay not to try to force yourself to understand what the other person is saying.
It's enough to just appear to be listening.
Just by responding appropriately and asking questions, the other person feels relieved and satisfied, thinking, "You're really listening to my story!"
Through this process, the relationship gradually deepens, and we become more and more important to the other person.
Excellent speaking skills are no longer required.
Just by truly listening, you can move the other person's heart.

Publisher's Review
“Now, don’t be jealous of people who are good at talking.
“Luck, opportunity, connections, and success come first to those who listen well.”
In an age overflowing with words, what we really need is the ability to listen.
The world today is full of people who pour out excessive information and stories about themselves.
Instant messages, constant notifications, and countless voices stimulate and overwhelm us.
In a society overflowing with words, people are becoming increasingly exhausted and desperate for someone to listen to their stories.
In this day and age, the people who get noticed are not those who are 'good at talking' but those who are 'good at listening'.
Because the power of listening is the most powerful weapon to move people's hearts and change relationships.
Mihiro Matsuda, author of "The Power of Listening Becomes a Weapon for Life," introduces the "art of listening" that improves relationships and enriches life without having to say a word, based on her experience gained through countless conversations over the past 20 years.
The 'Good Listener Tip 36' in the book provides practical help in checking the reader's 'listening attitude' and developing 'listening power'.
For example, the principle of 'listening 95% and speaking only 5%' reminds us that the focus of the conversation is 'the other person', not 'me'.
The "Stone Buddha Game," which teaches us the importance of nodding and facial expressions, allows us to experience firsthand how to listen appropriately.
Additionally, 'center pin questions' shake up entrenched thinking and open new perspectives, and 'time machine questions' bring out the other person's past and future, adding depth to the conversation.
With just these simple principles and questions, even those who struggle with speaking can have a good conversation.
This book is a practical guide that breaks away from the conversation method centered on 'speaking' and sheds new light on the value of 'listening'.
The fact that you can improve relationships and achieve personal growth without being a talker, and the message that "you can build good relationships even without being a talker," is especially empowering and encouraging for introverts.
The author goes beyond the art of conversation and says that the simple attitude of listening can fundamentally transform human relationships and life.
"The Power of Listening Becomes a Weapon of Life" shows how "quiet empathy" can create amazing changes and miracles in a modern society that is losing the essence of communication.
Now, awaken the ‘power of listening’ that lies dormant within you!
