After writing a series of three successful novels, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Journey and Three Sisters, Heather Morris has turned the page with a captivating book about the power of listening. She said, "Taking time to really listen to someone and hear their story requires patience and perseverance." This book is an extension of the author's notes with the series which also includes her thoughts about listening. She starts with a glimpse from her past. She learned the skill of listenin...

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love Heather Morris as a writer. This book seems more like her memoir about ow she because a listener and how she gained the trust of Holocaust survivors. Which allowed her to tell their stories. It's inspirational. This book providers you with a deeper understanding of what makes her stories so compelling and rich. I would and will recommend it to others.

LISTENING WELL-Heather MorrisI received this free Kindle book for the purpose of review. Great book, not only from a historical sense but more importantly how to truly listen to someone. Ms. Morris wrote this book about all the things she learned from Lale Sokolov, the tattooist at Auschwitz-Birkenau and the inspiration for her best selling novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz. By listening and not taking notes but truly undivided attention Ms. Morris learned a man's story that had many sides of emo...

Bringing Stories of Hope to LifeHeather Morris is one of my favorite authors. The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and Cilka’s Journey show what a great storyteller she is and also what a great story listener she is. And that is what this book is about. Listening. “Stories are what connect us and remind us that hope is always possible.”—Heather Morris I love that.In this work, she shares her talent as a listener. Something she used when first meeting Lale Sokolov, the tattooist at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He

Do not even try to judge until one has walked a mile in someone else's shoes. This message rings throughout this book that urges us to listen before we speak. As we deal with the pandemic that has crippled much of the world, we need to reset our expectations and adjust to a new world. This makes the message of learning to walk in another person's shoes even louder. Author Heather Morris is a sharp observer of cultural changes happening during this time. She shares with us stories of hope that co...

As an ardent fan of Heather Morris’s three novels, I was very much interested in and looking forward to her memoir, Listening Well. It was heartwarming to read about how she came to meet Lael and to write her first novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The insight into her ability to transfer his story to the written page and the interaction with her family is fascinating. Her references to Cilka are also extraordinary and her story was an exciting follow up second novel, Cilka’s Journey. The descr...

I love Heather Morris! If you have read The Tattooist of Auschwitz, specifically, and also Cilka’s Journey, then you will find this book quite interesting, as it fills in the backstory of Heather and Lale’s interviews. In addition to revisiting the characters in these books, as a bonus you receive much information about becoming a better listener. Listening is the foundation for a good relationship and if you want to hone these skills there is much practical information on relating to people of

A definite must read. Heather Morris does it again. I have always loved her writing as witnessed by how fast I got thru both The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka's Joutney & Three Sisters, all page turners that I simply could not put down. This book really surprised me. It took the art of listening, really listening, to a whole new level. From how to truly listen to your elders, to listening to our children & understanding that a little compromise goes a long way in future relationships with them,

This is a nonfiction account of the authors research and interviews of Lale, the main character in her prior book "the Tattooist of Auschwitz" interwoven with why listening is so important. Having read two of her prior books, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her real life friendship with Lale and more about his story. This book spends too much time delving into the art of listening though. Frankly, I could have done without it, but I do understand the purpose and how it ties everything togethe...

I was very excited to read this book by Heather Morris as I am a very big fan of her work 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙯, 𝘾𝙞𝙡𝙠𝙖'𝙨 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 and 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨. I was anticipating that this would be a memoir of sorts with more backing history from her interviews with Lale Sokolov and other family members from her books. While parts of this were in fact some behind the scenes into her interviews and writing her books, I was disappointed to find it wasn’t as much as I had expected personally. I also could...

I flip-flopped between really enjoying this book and finding it redundant. I was a huge fan of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and found Heather Morris’ retelling of Lale and Gita’s story of love and survival to be incredibly moving. The portions of this book that I found to be captivating are when Morris describes her conversations with Lale, how she got him to open up and trust her, and her own account of how she processed the horrific experiences that were being retold to her. The portions of her

Listening Well is a fun, thought-provoking, inspirational story that gives the reader an interesting insight to the impact a real life story has on an author. I loved the transparency the author shares of the impact of Lale’s story and enjoyed the twist of applicability of the lessons learned that I can apply to my life and work. Heather’s story has encouraged me to intentionally ask questions and also remain silent in the listening to others stories and grief. Having a dear friend from our high...
