You're Not Listening by Kate Murphy

There are a lot of really nice points in this book. What makes us feel lonely and isolated...is the missed opportunity to connect when you could have. I don't always think that is true, but I am a pretty intense introvert. I have made it a goal to leave conversations having learned something and it has made me concentrate more. 
The layers of friendship intrigued me; 150 you can comfortably know well enough to grab a drink but fewer close friends. I believe that for sure. 
My favorite chapter, as referenced in my previous comments is the one where you can sometimes say "no" to a conversation. 

Three and a half stars
