  The Halo Effect - How First...

  First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
  The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
  What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.

  In Praise of Listening - A...

  In her latest book, In Praise of Listening, Christian McEwen reflects on listening (silence, music, nature, prayer) in a series of thoughtful chapters, each one focused on a different theme. When an athlete speaks of "listening to his body," or a gardener describes herself as "listening to the land," when writers and artists explain that they are "listening" to their work-in-progress, they are using the word as she chooses to use it here—as an extended metaphor for openness and receptivity, rippling out from the self-centered human to the farthest reaches of the non-human world. 
   
   
   
  In Praise of Listening is a kind of sister or first cousin to McEwen's earlier, timely, and very popular, World Enough & Time, with the same emphasis on creativity and slowing down. As McEwen says: Most of us think of listening in fairly literal fashion: human beings listening (or not listening) to one another; the pleasure of attending to a familiar piece of music. But listening can have a far broader and more capacious meaning, moving out beyond the small apparatus of the ears to the hands or belly or enveloping spirit/mind.
