Customer Reviews

Time to Think by Nancy Kline

I was part of a group who used Kline's method; the Listening Environment. I ordered the book that day. I'm an Alzhiemer coach and felt it would benefit my listening to those with Alzheimer's. It does. The book is clearly written and with compassion. I would recommend this book for anyone seeking to improve relationship with their family member, friend or professional partner/client.

Time to Pay Attention to What People Say

I have read quite a few books looking for ways to unlock the thinking of business owners and their employees to improve a company. Nancy's book has far more in it than simple business advice. I would tag Nancy's book as one that provides a tool that allows a company to change its culture simply and effectively, provided most officials buy-in. Best of all, what she recommends is the right thing to do if you choose to live your life respecting other people. Her chapter titled "Attention" is a barn-burner. It is a powerful universal life lesson.

Fantastic Book

Time to Think outlines a powerful process of unlocking the knowledge and wisdom within the recesses of our minds. If your brain is the ultimate computer, Time to Think is like adding three times the RAM you're currently using. Every time I've used it or watched the process in action, I've witnessed great increases in thought clarity in even the brightest people. It is truly amazing. I recommend this book to everyone.

One of the most important works I have ever read!

I was given Nancy's book a few years ago by a good friend, and immediately upon reading it, I knew it would change my life. Since then, its value has continued to soar in my work and my life. I'm an attorney and CFP, and I teach financial advisors and attorneys how to work with their clients as whole people, not just a pile of assets or a set of legal issues. Time to Think is required reading in all our programs at SunBridge, and has done more than any other thing I've given my professional colleagues to help them learn how to find the best answers for their clients--by listening with resspect and attention, and creating an environment in which the clients can do their best thinking. My recommendation is that while you're ordering a copy for yourself, you order a few extras, because you're going to want to give a copy to all your friends, it's that good. This is absolutely a must read!

The most powerful, life-changing book on the market today!

"Listening to Ignite the Human Mind" was very thought-provoking. It taught me how to be a better person, a better listener, and a more effective leader. The techniques in this book will make EVERY business and person more successful!
