The talker-listener card (TLC) was created to be used as foldable third person who purpose is to keep us honest and remain on target without losing focus. The goals of talker-listener card is to remind each person to take turns listening and talking to one another. Taking turns talking and listening prevent arguments from taking place, but at the same time allows the person to focus the view points of the speaker. Petersen went on in further detail on to explain in a deeper aspect of the flat brain theory in a deeper perspective as well as more in depth explanation of the talker-listener card and it usefulness in communication. Touching on more listening techniques in later chapters he offer three technique to help improve are listening techniques.
Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects. Internally we think of ways to respond to the speaker and argue our position. In this process we often quit listening to what is being said. We make judgments and respond to those judgments as if the speaker’s position were accurately known to us. Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance.
Tina Loayza Practical Book Review Liberty University Why don’t we listen better is about becoming an effective listener. It’s about not letting our emotions take over with listening and speaking. This book really made me realize what in-depth speaking and listening was all about. This book is divided into three parts; the physical structure of listening, being a talker and a listener, and ways to become a more effective listener. In the first part talk some of the flat brain theory in the flat brain syndrome (Peterson, 2007).
One side claims people often times are just not compatible and were not meant to get along. The other side claims a man can always gain appreciation for another man after learning more about the other’s interests and circumstances. One study shows that when one self-discloses themselves to another person, that other person is more likely to like the person sharing their thoughts or feelings. This makes one think about experiences they have had with other people. Is it possible for one to really say that they “don’t like someone” after sitting down and sharing ideas and thoughts?
Often people's voices are not heard because they speak in ways that take quite a lot of effort to listen to properly. This can include having speech impediments, limited vocabulary, finding it difficult to organise thoughts into coherent order, forgetting what you wanted to say, or getting frustrated and angry. Of course it is also true that some professionals simply don't listen properly. In either case an advocate will help people to prepare and deliver a coherent statement of their needs or wishes, and being there with their partner also encourages other people to respond appropriately. Afterwards the advocate can also help their partner to remember what was said and to plan what to do

First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed. Maisel states, “This is an emotional suffering that researchers haven’t examined: the pain of wanting to do certain intellectual work but not being capable of it.” He then goes on to discuss ways to help your brain to be its best. This can range from silencing the self-talk that can rob you of your confidence, to making fewer excuses about why you don’t have the time, patience, or ability to think. Secondly he points out that choosing the intellectual work that matches your native intelligence, or in other words, staying in your comfort zone. He tells us to find an area of work that isn’t too difficult which enables you to do work that makes use of all your strengths.
A characteristic such as this plays into the ignorance displayed towards foreign affairs and also on a more personal level. I have noticed while listening to adults especially, that they almost always feel the need to express how busy their lives are and all the things that their kids are doing, while leaving little time to listen to what others may have to say. Feeling the need to tell people how stressful your life is just goes to show that the activities you are doing are probably being done for the wrong reason, not for self gratification but for show.
