The Chapter on How To Listen

Overt experience: "He yelled at me"
Covert experience: "Thoughts about death come out of nowhere and flood my mind"

Overt experience: "I spend about three hours every night in some bar"
Covert experience: "Before she comes over I plan everything I'm going to say."

Overt experience (expressed): "I got very angry and shouted at her"
Covert experience (felt, but not expressed): "I was delighted that he failed, but I didn't let on."
