"The teachings and practices here will transform a sense of chaos into a clear image and a mindset of fear into a mindset of hope" - Margaret Heffernan, best-selling author of Wilful Blindness.

How often do you interrupt? How often are you interrupted? Can you remember the last time someone listened to you until you completed your thought? At a time when communication is more challenging than ever and relationships need care, it is more important than ever to listen to each other.

In her new book, Nancy Kline, bestselling author of Time To Think, suggests that to radically improve our communication, we must make the promise "I will not interrupt you." This promise matters because when we interrupt each other, we interrupt our thinking, and that disrupts the quality of everything we do. By making this promise to our colleagues and loved ones, we can deepen our relationships, increase our productivity, and enjoy deeper, richer conversations.

Nancy has spent the last three decades researching independent thinking and the barriers that prevent us from thinking on our own. In this book, she tells us the truth about the damage that interruption can cause, shares case studies and stories from her work with clients, as well as simple ways we can improve our communication and change our lives.

"This generous, useful, and important book is a pleasure to read and will radically change the way you interact with people" - Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler, authors of The Communication Book.

"This timely and compelling book shows us that the foundation for independent thinking is the promise to truly listen, without interruptions, to what others have to say" - Cal Newport, bestselling author of Digital Minimalism.
