10 Zingers: David Zinger - www.davidzinger.com

“Listen. All you need is love. If you love to talk, remember Paul Tillich said, “the first duty of love is to listen.” Don’t neglect your conversational duty.”

In a chapter entitled ‘10 Zingers‘ David gives us ten punchy reminders about what conversation is really about - in the example cited above, its obviously not so much the sound of your own voice as simply listening.

My favourite Zinger? It begins like this: Be interesting, inviting, and interested.
