“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen believes that listening is good medicine, and she has developed a training program that changes the way doctors practice their "healing art." Her course is now taught in half the medical schools in the United States.
