He's devoted his career to something most of us struggle with: actually understanding what someone is trying to say.   \u200bAnd for many men, especially in retirement or approaching it, this becomes more important than ever. When the structure of work falls away and relationships shift, we\u2019re left with more space to connect, or feel disconnected.   We covered:   Why listening is more than just hearing words What we miss when we focus only on what\u2019s being said Why most of us aren\u2019t as good at listening as we think How learning to listen to yourself changes everything What gets in the way of deeper conversations Why relationships can feel harder after leaving work What it means to really understand another person   -- Resources:   Listening for a Life: The Artful Science of Psychotherapy   ","author_name":"Chapter X with Michael Kay","author_url":"https:\/\/www.michaelfkay.com\/","html":"
