‘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.
