Book excerpt: When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone really listened to you? "If you’re like most people, you don’t listen as often or as well as you’d like. There’s no one better qualified than a talented journalist to introduce you to the right mindset and skillset—and this book does it with science and humor." -Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take **Hand picked by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink for Next Big Ideas Club** "An essential book for our times." -Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone At work, we’re taught to lead the conversation. On social media, we shape our personal narratives. At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians. We’re not listening. And no one is listening to us. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here. In this always illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains why we’re not listening, what it’s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend. She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there (including a CIA agent, focus group moderator, bartender, radio producer, and top furniture salesman). Equal parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action that's full of practical advice, You're Not Listening is to listening what Susan Cain's Quiet was to introversion. It’s time to stop talking and start listening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NRC Handelsblad Book of the Year “Offers rich discussions of olfactory perception, the conscious and subconscious impacts of smell on behavior and emotion.” —Science Decades of cognition research have shown that external stimuli “spark” neural patterns in particular regions of the brain. We think of the brain as a space we can map: here it responds to faces, there it perceives a sensation. But the sense of smell—only recently attracting broader attention in neuroscience—doesn’t work this way. So what does the nose tell the brain, and how does the brain understand it? A. S. Barwich turned to experts in neuroscience, psychology, chemistry, and perfumery in an effort to understand the mechanics and meaning of odors. She discovered that scents are often fickle, and do not line up with well-defined neural regions. Upending existing theories of perception, Smellosophy offers a new model for understanding how the brain senses and processes odors. “A beguiling analysis of olfactory experience that is fast becoming a core reference work in the field.” —Irish Times “Lively, authoritative...Aims to rehabilitate smell’s neglected and marginalized status.” —Wall Street Journal “This is a special book...It teaches readers a lot about olfaction. It teaches us even more about what philosophy can be.” —Times Literary Supplement

Book excerpt: What is lean communication and why do you need it? Lean communication is a mindset and a set of principles and practices to apply lean thinking to become a better thinker and communicator. In the manufacturing world, lean thinking has produced exceptional improvements in productivity and customer value. Manufacturing is a process that takes in raw materials, applies work to them, and produces something a customer values. Lean thinking, with its single-minded focus on creating more value with less waste, carries many lessons that also apply directly to communication, which is a process that takes in information, applies thinking to them, and produces a message a listener values. This book distills those lessons into ten powerful keys to maximize the value others get from hearing or reading your ideas. As a knowledge worker, you need lean communication more than ever today. That's because your contribution depends on your ability to communicate ideas and insights that others can use to improve personal or business outcomes. That task is becoming ever more challenging as the ever-expanding volume of information makes it more difficult to separate useful signals from the noise. Precisely because talk is so cheap, fast, and ubiquitous, useful and meaningful communication is at the same time harder than it's ever been. The very ease of generating and transmitting it means that useless information is churned out much faster than ever, and it becomes tougher for your listeners to get exactly what they need to make good decisions or take the right action. They often feel like the Ancient Mariner: "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink." Your listeners will naturally gravitate to those who provide useful information briefly and clearly, so your path to increased influence and sustained attention depends on giving them more value with less waste-to talk less and say more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

Book excerpt: A new approach to business ethics is quietly taking hold in executive suites and corporate boardrooms across America. Frustrated by an epidemic of misbehavior at all employee levels, management teams are getting back to basics—back to the idea that personal character and individual responsibility are the ultimate keys to integrity, just as they were back in the days of the Open Range. A decade ago, the book Cowboy Ethics first inspired businesspeople to look to the Code of the West. Once they did, they discovered that its simple, common-sense principles can be more effective guides to business leadership than a truckload of corporate mission statements, rules, and ethics manuals. “Cowboys are role models because they live by a code,” says author James P. Owen. “They show us what it means to stand for something, and to strive every day to make your actions line up with your beliefs. And isn’t that as good a definition of integrity as you can find?” In the years since, the book’s “Ten Principles to Live By” have been embraced by scores of companies, universities, and even a state government. This updated Tenth Anniversary hardcover edition traces the evolution of this grassroots business movement in brand-new chapters while preserving the inspirational lessons and stunning photography of the original. It’s ideal for corporate gifts, the new graduate, business students, or any career person who cares about doing the right thing.

This great love will guide us around every obstacle in life as long as we listen and hold on to it." Anthony Goulet author of God Help Me Tie My Shoes & The Four "This book is a beautiful writing of one woman's journey of an intimacy with God; growing deeper in trust of the ONE she loves, her Lord, her Creator! The one who she has given her life to out of love for Him and a heart for others. It was a blessing to be able to take the journey with Lesa Day, as God calls her from a place of brokenness, from complacency - into an even deeper walk of surrender...to a place she had never known before... as it should be as we grow in a life given over to Him to have His way. Thank you Lesa! Through the sharing of your own journey and then the Spirit led questions at the end of each chapter designed for us to consider some things in our own walk with God...you are allowing us to grab His hand and have our own unique walk with Him to NEXT!" Theresa Robbins youth group leader "I must say this book caused me to take a good look at my attitude toward prayer and what God has been trying to tell me. The stories and their connection to God's word really rang true for me. The chapter on forgiveness was so on point and spoke to me directly, causing me to miss boarding my plane because I was focused on what God was saying to me. This book was worth missing my flight, so I could finish it. Great reading, great testimony Lesa Day...thank you for sharing your story." Mark Wiggins, The Speaker Man, author of Permission to Succeed & Mapping Your Journey to Success A life changing book with a life changing message.

Lesa takes the reader along with her on a spiritual journey as she shares priceless lessons that can only be learned when a child of God talks less and and prays more.
