Download or read book You re Not Listening written by Kate Murphy and published by Celadon Books. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone really listened to you? "If you’re like most people, you don’t listen as often or as well as you’d like. There’s no one better qualified than a talented journalist to introduce you to the right mindset and skillset—and this book does it with science and humor." -Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take **Hand picked by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink for Next Big Ideas Club** "An essential book for our times." -Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone At work, we’re taught to lead the conversation. On social media, we shape our personal narratives. At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians. We’re not listening. And no one is listening to us. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here. In this always illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains why we’re not listening, what it’s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend. She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there (including a CIA agent, focus group moderator, bartender, radio producer, and top furniture salesman). Equal parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action that's full of practical advice, You're Not Listening is to listening what Susan Cain's Quiet was to introversion. It’s time to stop talking and start listening.

Download or read book The Best of Me written by David Sedaris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Genius… It is miraculous to read these pieces… You must read The Best of Me.” —Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice A CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler’s lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say “give it to me” in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. But if all you expect to find in Sedaris’s work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery, more fellow-feeling than derision. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. In these pages, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms—at long last—with the other. Taken together, the stories in TheBest of Me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him. No experience, he sees, is quite as he expected—it’s often harder, more fraught, and certainly weirder—but sometimes it is also much richer and more wonderful. Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called “the funniest man alive” (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing—quite often at himself—and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.
Download or read book Version One Is Better Than Version None written by KR Goswami and published by Kantigiri. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was in Indian Air Force and flying in the chopper, the pilot planned sorties primarily based on assumptions. Taking off at the helipad, landed at the destination place, and gave room for an emergency landing if something went wrong. He covered all the checkpoints before taking off, but he knew that all the identical decisions would be made on the way. He never tried to forecast for the entire root rather than picking up the current weather report available at the time of take-off, as it was needed to adjust in real-time situations and never stuck. The ability to sit, try and work out every possibility was always available, but the flight plan he took on take-off was always version one. The project that he ended up executing by the time we landed at our destination was probably Version four or five. Another example of version one for me while making videos for uploading to YouTube was the biggest challenge when I pushed through the first clip. But I continued with my plans to serve and give to the target audience by narrating a couple of great stories that happened to me. And ultimately, my 21st video was much more attractive than my first video. In any journey, whether it is a stage presentation, podcast episode, cycling race, or writing book, version one of them was nowhere near the robustness of version nine. It was always my first time in every prevailing situation that met the tire with the rugged road, but as long as a Suck Less next time, the newer version was always better than the previous & I could keep on moving till I achieved momentum. If you fall out of speed, then you are dead in the water. So often, we can be paralyzed by fear. Becoming stuck at the weight of a decision and not wanting to "make a bad decision." This slowing down of our thought processes is really counterproductive, and it should not be allowed to be your default mindset to set in your business brain. The secret to enabling yourself to make decisions and keep moving is as easy as reciting my favorite saying, "Version One is better than Version None."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a constant flux. As technologies continue to fuse the physical, digital, and biological worlds, how are you coping with the disruption? In my practice as a learning designer and talent coach/facilitator of adult learning, I encounter many adults who are ill-prepared for change and disruption. They constantly fumble around trying to determine where they wish to go. When I developed my prototype of a learning toolkit, my learners liked what they saw and quickly adopted it for use. Hence, Myrita was born, inspired by the Spanish name Rita, which means ‘pearl’. Myrita is a space for you to pause, ponder, and prosper. This journal is a culmination of anecdotes, tools, frameworks, and pearls of wisdom. This booklet aids you as you shift your priorities, or take on new life projects. Myrita serves a set of prompts and reminders for your lifelong learning journey. As you navigate the disruption in your life, Myrita documents your thoughts and deliberate plans for self-exploration, self-awareness, and personal development. Myrita is designed for self-directed learners who aspire to become slightly better versions of themselves. There is no definite magic formula to turn everything into exactly what you want. For that, you need to find the delicate balance between planning to make your goals happen and learning to cope with any disruption that may come along. Myrita aims to be your trusted companion in developing and realising your raison d’être. Myrita may be adapted to your coaching practice, educational institution, or learning organisation to cater to specific developmental needs. You may contact me for a coffee chat at [email protected]. May we all be well and happy and safe.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.
