LONGWOOD, FL-A universal and exceedingly costly problem affecting the life of almost every person is simple lack of listening. Feelings are hurt, relationships are broken, legal redress is sought and many times awarded, admonishing is administered, penalties are paid, accidents occur, and many other problems emanate from a lack of understanding created by poor listening habits. Are You Listening? (paperback, 978-1-60266-913-0), by veteran author B. T. Prince, Jr., will sensitize people to the need to receive information in a more responsive way
"This is a day-to-day problem in personal lives and in business, causing mistakes and misunderstandings that are very costly but often not recognized as the source," says Prince. "As a salesman for many years and a contract officer for a long period, as well as working with outreach in my church, I discovered hundreds of situations involving bad relationships and costly mix-ups due to people not listening."
Having so long been a part of the solution, Prince has become very sensitive to what was really communicated rather than what someone intended to communicate. He has discovered how improved listening habits can and will eliminate many of the communication problems we experience in our everyday lives.
B. T. Prince, Jr., is a widely traveled retired businessman who is an elder, lay minister, and outreach volunteer at Carmel Baptist Church in Matthews, North Carolina.
