Most of us spend a good share of our lives listening. Success or failure throughout life is often dependent on how well or poorly we listen. Almost any job involves a certein amount of listening - listening to instructions for doing it, if nothing else.

Tests of listening comprehension show that without training, the average person listens at about 25 per cent efficiency. This low rating becomes even more deplorable as evidence accumulates that it can be very much raised through training.
