Ep. 75 - Dr Haru Yamada - How To Improve Your Listening And Help Your Relationships

Dr Haru Yamada is a PhD sociolinguistics researcher and writer from Georgetown University, and expert on listening, and author of Kiku: The Japanese Art of Good Listening.

We discuss: how listening impacts our relationships, how through observational listening we conform to social groups around us, how conflicts can be avoided by breaking down relationship tension, the links between our mental and physical health, connection with memories and nostalgia through listening, and breaking down fight, flight and freeze.
