Julian Treasure: 5 ways to listen better

Actively listening includes different aspects of listening and thinking about listening in a different manner. The video gives you five exercises to learn to listen better. 

Silence
Three minutes silence per day is an exercise to reset your ears so you can hear the quiet again.

Mixer
Actively listen to how many channels of sounds you can hear, when you are in a noisy place such as a coffeebar. This improves the quality of listening. 

Savory
Enjoy sounds you hear each day, such as the sound of your washing machine. 

Listening positions
Move your listening position to what fits, such as active/passive or critical/empathy.
