Yes, in her book "You're Not Listening," Kate Murphy discusses how certain situations or environments can be more conducive to listening than others. She explains that quiet and secluded places where there are minimal distractions can enhance listening capabilities. For example, having a one-on-one conversation in a peaceful park or a cozy coffee shop can create an atmosphere that encourages attentive listening. On the other hand, loud and chaotic environments, such as crowded parties or busy restaurants, can make it more challenging to focus and truly listen to someone.
