Option 2: Think about one of your most important relationships. Which faulty listening behaviors do you find most annoying? What would the other person say about your most annoying listening faults? In what ways would you like to improve your listening skills with that person? What effects do you think this will have on the relationship?

Option 3: Listen, really listen to someone who is important to you. Use all the tips in Chapter 5. Avoid interrupting, show interest, ask follow-up questions, and so on. Write about the experience.
