A thoughtful and helpful insight into why listening matters and how to become a better listener.
'A great insight' - Michael Rosen
Listening connects us to others and the world around us. Learn how to harness its power in this life-changing new book.
Drawing on the Japanese concept of kiku - a deep listening practice - sociologist and listening expert Dr Haru Yamada brings together cutting-edge research with advice, tips, and tricks to create a transformational guide to becoming better listeners in everyday life. Once you know how to listen to those around you, you'll learn how to read between the lines, communicate across divides, and connect with those most important to you. Kiku is an essential guide to embracing the art of listening.

About the Author
Haru Yamada is a sociolinguistics researcher and writer with a PhD from Georgetown University. Haru's life mission is to champion listening, in many ways enforced by a serious accident which left her nearly deaf and with a lifelong hearing disability. Her goal is to make listening a thoughtful part of everyday practice. She currently lives in London with her French partner, two multilingual, biracial, multicultural children in a hybrid working, bigenerational home.
