“Full of revealing, instantly applicable ideas for leveraging your strengths and overcoming your weaknesses.” —Adam Grant, author of Think Again and Originals, and host of the TED podcast WorkLife For many of us, listening is simply something we do on autopilot. We hear just enough of what others say to get our work done, maintain friendships, and be polite with our neighbors. But we miss crucial opportunities to go deeper—to give and receive honest feedback, to make connections that will endure for the long haul, and to discover who people truly are at their core. Fortunately, listening can be improved—and Ximena Vengoechea can show you how. In Listen Like You Mean It, she offers an essential listening guide for our times, revealing tried-and-true strategies honed in her own research sessions and drawn from interviews with marriage counselors, podcast hosts, life coaches, journalists, filmmakers, and other listening experts. Through Vengoechea’s set of scripts, key questions, exercises, and illustrations, you’ll learn to: • Quickly build rapport with strangers • Ask the right questions to deepen a conversation • Pause at the right time to encourage vulnerability • Navigate a conversation that’s gone off the rails Now more than ever, we need to feel heard, connected, and understood in a world that keeps turning up the volume. Warm, funny, and immensely practical, this book shows you how.

Hace años que los entendidos venían pronosticando el exitoso crossover de Shakira. La cantante firmó su primer contrato discográfico a los trece años, grabó su segundo álbum a los quince y actuó en una telenovela popular en su Colombia natal. Tenía solamente diecinueve años cuando su tercer álbum, Pies descalzos, la convirtió en la artista de mayor venta en Latinoamérica. Si bien su siguiente álbum, Dónde están los ladrones?, ganó ocho discos de platino en Estados Unidos, no fue hasta su actuación electrizante en la primera entrega de los Premios Grammy Latinos que llamó la atención de todo el país. Aunque el éxito le llegó a una edad tan temprana, a los veinticuatro años Shakira tiene los pies firmes sobre la tierra y rechaza los estereotipos que rodean a las estrellas de rock. Ella es una católica devota, vive con sus padres y cuando no está grabando o de gira prefiere pasar el tiempo con su familia. Esta rockera es una de las pocas estrellas que combinan talento, carisma y sensibilidad, y que además saben muy bien lo que quieren. Para la cantante más fascinante de América Latina desde Ricky Martin, las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Para los millones de personas que ya compran sus discos, Shakira representa la voz de la nueva generación.
