5 ways to listen better

5 ways to listen better



現今的社會
似乎少了許多conscious listening。
傾聽佔了我們和人溝通的60%，
但是我們可能只聽進了25%。
在日益吵雜的環境，
Julian Treasure指出
It's harder for us to pay attention to the quiet, the subtle, the understated.
這是嚴重的問題，
因為Listening is our access to understanding.
Julian Treasure分享了五個改進傾聽的策略：
1. Silence (每天三分鐘的寂靜時刻，讓耳朵能靜聽)
2. The mixer (辨別聲音的頻道)
3. Savoring (享受日常生活中的聲音)
4. Listening positions
(切換傾聽的模式
active - passive
reductive- expansive
critical - empathtic)
5. R- Receive (傾聽)
A- Appreciate (用"hmm," "oh," "okay"，提示對方，你在聽)
S- Summarize (用so...來做總結)
A- Ask (聽之後，提問)

我們要靜下心來，
專注地傾聽，
不但可以改善人際互動，
也能增進彼此的了解。

*every human being needs to listen consciously in order to live fully -- connected in space and in time to the physical world around us, connected in understanding to each other, not to mention spiritually connected, because every spiritual path I know of has listening and contemplation at its heart.
