Description: This chapter exemplifies how a Listener got a whole village of people in their lives whom they trust and who support them. When they are faced with a challenge or a decision, Listeners know they can rely on their people. They always have a plethora of advice ready for them when they ask, and they don't have to make a decision by themselves. The chapter assesses how having a tight network of people whom you support and who support you is one of Listeners' biggest assets. It underlines that they have people whom they trust to help them make decisions and move forward in their life. In general, they are a trusting person who believes in the people around them. The chapter also examines the blind spots of being a Listener. Since being a Listener means that they may rely too heavily on other people to make decisions for them, Listeners may be swayed by people in positions because they are loyal to those they trust. The chapter then analyzes authority bias, liking bias, narrative bias, and social proof bias.
