Hear's the thing : lessons on listening, life, and love
(Book)

A story about what is possible when someone is brave enough to listen to others; and, ultimately, themselves, without judgement. For Cody Alan, one of country music's on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family. Cody shares some of the many lessons he's learned along the way, including: how to actively listen with empathy and without judgment; why a willingness to "let people in" better equips you to receive from others; and how genuine attentiveness can help you build healthier and deeper relationships.
