I ordered The Procrastinator's Handbook, which is supposed to be a good book for grad students (grad school is an excellent opportunity to procrastinate--avoid writing). I heard about it at the peer counselor trainings I've been going to weekly. The focus is on empathetic listening without advice-giving and I'm very glad I'm doing it. It helps me listen to someone else without reacting or turning the conversation to me, or giving advice (and what do I really know about how to solve someone else's feelings, anyway?).
