The Promise That Changes Everything, I Won't Interrupt You

by Nancy Kline

How often do you interrupt? How often do people interrupt you? Can you remember the last time someone listened to you all the way through your thinking?
In her new book, Nancy Kline, bestselling author of Time To Think, makes this radical proposal: ‘I won’t Interrupt you’ is a promise that changes everything. It deepens relationships, spawns dignity, raises the intelligence of groups, and enriches every conversation. It may, in fact, be the most important promise we ever make. And the hardest to keep. This promise matters because when we interrupt each other, we interrupt our thinking, and that interrupts the quality of everything we do.
Nancy has spent the last three decades researching independent thinking and the barriers that prevent us from thinking for ourselves. In The Promise That Changes Everything Nancy shares insights into the nature of interruption, case studies and stories from her work with clients, as well as simple ways to change how we behave with each other so that this promise can change our lives.

‘As living and working become more complex, the lessons and practices here will shift a sense of chaos to one of clarity and a mindset of fear to one of hope. It could not have come at a better moment’ Margaret Heffernan, bestselling author of Wilful Blindness

‘This timely and persuasive book shows us that the foundation for independent thinking is the promise to actually listen, without interruption, to what others have to say’
Cal Newport, bestselling author of Digital Minimalism
