Hi [Name]

I thought you might be interested to hear about a book by one of my friends:

JUST LISTEN: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, by Mark Goulston, M.D.

“…an impressive bag of tricks…a guide that is as entertaining as it is useful.”
—Publishers Weekly

“…Goulston provides brilliant yet doable techniques for getting through to others…
This book transcends the self-help category by promoting real communication.”
—Library Journal (starred review)

“If you follow just a fraction of Goulston’s advice you will be able to get through to anybody. It’s easy to read, easy to follow and the results are astounding.”
- Marshall Goldsmith, NYT and WSJ #1 bestselling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There and Succession: Are You Ready?

Right now, there’s someone in your life you need to reach. But you can’t, and it’s driving you crazy. You’ve tried everything—logic, persuasion, forcefulness, pleading, anger—but you’ve hit a wall every time. You’re mad, scared, or frustrated. And you’re thinking, “What now?”

It’s a universal source of frustration, experienced by everyone in business, from senior executives to frontline service providers, and everyone who’s in a relationship.  We all know what it’s like to need to get through to someone, to try everything—logic, flattery, forcefulness, pleading, screaming—and to keep hitting a brick wall.

In Just Listen, Dr. Goulston shares his trusted set of communication techniques and the key to their incredible effectiveness.  As he explains, his methods succeed because they create traction, rather than resistance.  “That is,” as Dr. Goulston simply puts it, “they pull people towards you, even if those people are trying to pull away.”

Packed with memorable anecdotes, usable insights, and specific action steps, Just Listen is a welcome guide for not only anyone who’s struggling to get through to someone, but for everyone whose career, health, and happiness depend on getting along with others.

You can purchase your copy online at Amazon, Borders, or Barnes and Noble.

Thanks for your help!
