Julian Treasure and Alice Vincent Are You Listening?

Hearing is the first sense we develop and yet, in an increasingly noisy and distracted world, most people pay scant attention to the sounds around them, causing them to lose contact with the essential skill of listening. Julian is an expert in communication and his TED Talk How to speak so that people want to listen is the sixth most-viewed TED talk of all time. Why Women Grow author Alice Vincent’s latest book asks if sound – seeking it, trying to hold on to it, making space for it in life – can reconnect us to lost parts of ourselves but to a life more consciously lived.
