# Active Listening

* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXjgpYevUww>
  * Be present in the conversation
  * Repeat back to the person in a short and casual way what you just understood they said
  * Emotion labelling
    * “It sounds like you have a hard time”
    * “I guess you’re happy this is over”
  * “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” - Dale Carnegie
