Listening for insight is simply about being present and reflective. It’s a very natural, maybe even our most natural, way of listening, but it can be a bit awkward for many of us to empty the chatter in our heads and look instead for fresh thoughts. We have to recover our ability to drop distractions, allow the detailed content of the words to fall away, and instead, absorb the feeling of the communication, whether it be with another person or only with ourselves.

When we listen for fresh thoughts in this manner, insights ultimately hit.

All the discussions in this chapter on strategy and method really only make sense if you quiet your mind. You are not so much employing techniques as you are lightly observing your listening and thinking. Over time, this way of listening becomes spontaneous with insights happening all the time—we need only notice them.
