#88 How to be Heard | Julian Treasure SuperPsyched with Dr. Adam Dorsay
-
- Self-Improvement
I remember being in 8th grade science class. The teacher asked me to go home, close my eyes, and listen deeply for two minutes, and then to write down everything I heard. Have you ever done that? If not, I recommend you give it a try. What shows up is utterly mind-blowing and reminds me of an idea from Ferris Bueller, who noted that “life moves pretty fast and if we don’t pay attention, we might miss it.”
As it turns out, if you want to feel more alive, it’s important to listen. And if you want to be heard, the answer is the same: we must listen, according to my expert guest. Bestselling author, Julian Treasure (https://www.juliantreasure.com/) has given 5 TED talks about listening and being heard that have been viewed over 100 million times. His messages clearly resonate with people and for good reason: he’s brilliant. As you’ll hear in this interview, Julian has an unusual ability to notice important things that most of us overlook but need to pay attention to. His book called “How to Be Heard” is one of the finest communication books I have encountered, and I am not alone. Dozens of luminaries have endorsed it including audio expert, Bernie Krause who said it is “clear, powerful, and fun,” and “the go-to resource for learning how to listen and express ourselves in ways that can only enrich our lives.”
