The Lost Art of Attention: Why is it so hard to listen?
Manage episode 513366905 series 3690620
I'm inviting you to join me in a reflection on listening. This is a meander through the topic of hearing, listening, and truly understanding the people around you. There is some philosophical and spiritual leaning here, but ultimately there's practical advice about how to stay calm and use listening skills in moments of conflict or confrontation. There's advice here around negotiation and how listening and truly respecting another person's space can bring you to a better understanding with others. There's also some reference to Eastern philosophy, and spiritual and religious traditions, and to modern psychology. But it lives in the practical, ultimately.
