NEW BOOK OUT THIS YEAR
Sound expert Julian Treasure invites you on a guided tour that takes in the sounds of the dawn of the universe and of colliding black holes; the terrifying natural sounds of volcanoes, meteorite strikes, and earthquakes; the incredible sounds made by even the tiniest living things; the soothing, health-giving sounds of gentle wind, water and birdsong; and the panoply of sound generated by humanity, from Mozart to a checkout beep.
This is a book you will keep coming back to, full of wonders and revelations. Most of all, it’s your reconnection with a widely forgotten skill that’s vital for your happiness, effectiveness and well-being – listening.
Available for pre-order now. Publication date: March 27 (UK) and June 17 (USA). Also to be published in Germany, Italy, Japan and Taiwan.
How to be Heard includes never-before-seen exercises to develop your communication skills that are as effective at home as in the boardroom or conference call.
Julian Treasure offers an inspiring vision for a world of effective speaking, listening and understanding.
Sound is a great undiscovered country for business. Most organisations are blissfully unaware of their sound, and yet sound affects people deeply. Sound can change people's behaviour in almost any commercial environment – including offices, shops, showrooms, advertising, the internet, hotels, bars and restaurants.
Research shows that appropriate sound can increase retail sales by over 30% and triple productivity for some workers.
