Summary
Have you ever felt like you're talking, but nobody is listening? Renowned five-time TED Talk speaker and author Julian Treasure reveals how to speak so that people listen - and how to listen so that people feel heard. As this leading sound expert demonstrates via interviews with world-class speakers, professional performers, and CEOs at the tops of their fields, the secret lies in developing simple habits that can transform our communication skills, the quality of our relationships, and our impact in the world. Julian Treasure offers an inspiring vision for a sonorous world of effective speaking, listening, and understanding.
Communication skills, secrets, and tips discussed in this book include - how to make sound work for you to improve well-being and happiness; why listening matters and how listening and speaking affect one another; the power of your vocal toolbox and how to build your speaking power; how to plan and structure content so you always hit the bull's-eye; exercises and methods to achieve clarity and impact; and how to deliver like a professional speaker to win over any audience.

One of the best self development books
The topic of the art of listening may not sound like much to you, but that what I was thinking and readily admit my mistake.
The author masterfully puts the idea across, engages with the listener and as a result the book is a gem.

Good book!
Enjoyed listening to this book, fantastic resource for anyone wanting to make the right impression.
The pdf resource is difficult to understand. Has anyone figured out how to use it to get to a particular section/subchapter on audible? Lots of gems that I want to revisit but can’t seem to find anymore as T166 as a digit download reference for example mean nothing to me!

Not what I expected but a 'must listen'!
A brilliant, essential book for all today, especially those who are glued to technology and losing the art of conversation. I'm not quite finished but truly an enjoyable read and a lovely British accent to listen to.

Tips from an interpersonal communication master
Like many, I imagine, I read this on the back of Julian's popular Ted Talks. I had high expectations of the book and wasn't disappointed.
I also enjoyed the pleasure of listening to Julian talk through the material. As a trainer in interpersonal communication I found it eye opening, entertaining and most importantly practical.
This Audiobook edition also has Julian's interviews with some of the most popular Ted talkers.
Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in speaking publicly or desire to communicate more effectively and with greater empathy.

30 mins content stretched for hours
This book confirms that you can get all you need from Julian Treasure by watching his TED talks. This book uses the same facts over and over again. It is full of so much padding, repetition and alluding to future content that it very quickly becomes tiring.
As a narrator, I also find that, despite his efforts, he's not actually that great an orator. His delivery is overly performed, like someone who is desperate to use the widest possible range at all times. His voice sounds to me like the oral ecquivalent of an episode of the podcast RadioLab, where every sentence needs a change of tone, or a sound effect, because he is terrified we might drift off. Again, it is draining...
Within the first couple of chapters he tells you about 5 times each that:
"Modern headphones can play music too loud"
"I live in the Orkney Isles" - Not sure why he keeps saying this!
"Your voice is just breath"
"You can find out more on my website, here is the address, use the password - 'conscious'"
The book also frequently veers into areas outside of "How to be Heard" and comes across as weak life advice. Ignoring your inner critic, decreasing your screen time and topics such as these often pop up, are barely explored, then disappear. Rather than soft padding like this, perhaps Treasure should have hired a more vicious editor!
