Publisher's summary

Listening connects us to others and the world around us. Learn how to harness its power in this life-changing book.

In her first book, sociolinguist and listening expert Haru Yamada draws on the Japanese concept of 'kiku' to help us all become better listeners in our daily life. Kiku or 'listening with fourteen hearts' as it is translated directly is a particular type of listening that goes beyond the superficial. It is a deep listening that brings us together.

Kiku offers a brand new insight into the art of listening and a groundbreaking roadmap to help you to listen with intention and meaning in your daily interactions. Once you understand how hearing and listening work, you'll start noticing your own. You will gain a deeper understanding of the world. You'll read rooms better because you'll be reading more deeply between the lines of the people around you. Kiku is an essential guide to unlocking the power of listening in your everyday life.
