Active Listening by Carl R. Rogers

A concise guide to listening as an intentional, empathic process that helps people feel understood and clarify their own thoughts and emotions, emphasizing techniques such as attentive silence, paraphrasing, reflecting feelings, asking open questions, and withholding judgment or premature advice; by fostering a nonjudgmental, accepting climate, the listener encourages deeper self-exploration, reduced defensiveness, and personal growth, making the approach useful across counseling, conflict resolution, education, and everyday relationships.
