Hear’s the Thing: Lessons on Listening, Life, and Love
by Cody Alan
Hardcover | November 9, 2021

In a world overflowing with noise, Hear’s the Thing is a thoughtful and generous memoir about the quiet power of listening. Country music radio and television personality Cody Alan shares how learning to truly hear others ultimately taught him how to hear himself.

For years, Alan built a career around conversation, connection, and storytelling. But it was through slowing down and listening with empathy that he began a deeper personal journey. Listening led him to confront questions of faith, identity, and belonging, and gave him the courage to come out as gay, redefine family, and imagine a more authentic version of his life.

Blending personal narrative with gentle life lessons, Alan reflects on the art of attentive listening and what it makes possible: deeper relationships, emotional safety, and self-acceptance. He explores how creating space for others allows us to receive in return, and how genuine openness can transform the way we love, parent, and live.

Warm, accessible, and affirming, Hear’s the Thing is a memoir for anyone seeking connection in a distracted world, and for readers navigating their own paths toward honesty, empathy, and self-understanding.
