  This illuminating book weaves personal stories of a multilingual upbringing with the latest scientific breakthroughs in interspecies communication to show how the skill of deep listening enhances our curiosity and empathy toward the world around us 
   
   
   
  Third Ear braids together personal narrative with scholarly inquiry to examine the power of listening to build interpersonal empathy and social transformation. A daughter of Holocaust survivors, Rosner shares stories from growing up in a home where six languages were spoken to interrogate how psychotherapy, neurolinguistics, and creativity can illuminate the complex ways we are impacted by the sounds and silences of others. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on expertise from journalists, podcasters, performers, translators, acoustic biologists, spiritual leaders, composers, and educators, this hybrid text moves fluidly along a spectrum from molecular to global to reveal how third-ear listening can be a collective means for increased understanding and connection to the natural world.

  Karen Hough doesn't want you to be "perfect." People fear public speaking because they worry about having to conform to all sorts of handed-down rules that tie them up in knots and put their audiences to sleep. It's authenticity and passion that win people over, she says, not "polish." But you can't be authentic if you’re following guidelines that drain the life and personality out of your presentation. 
   
   
   
  Hough debunks over a dozen myths about presenting to make it more fun and natural for everyone. She explains how practicing in front of a mirror makes you worse, why you should never end with questions, and much more. She includes true stories of people who not only were able to become great presenters by being "bad" but actually came to enjoy it! Like them, by following Karen Hough's wise and witty advice, you'll be able to tear up the old rules and embrace and develop your own style. You'll be freed to be a living, breathing, occasionally clumsy human being whose enthusiasm is powerful and infectious.

  We broke our new series on learning Filipino [Tagalog] down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
  This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Filipino [Tagalog]. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Filipino [Tagalog] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Filipino [Tagalog] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Filipino [Tagalog]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Filipino [Tagalog] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Filipino [Tagalog], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  Voice Care And Training For...

  Welcome to Voice Care and Training For Speakers. My name is Dielle, and I have been a trained vocalist since I was a child. When I started my own business as an adult, I attended a business training seminar with an exceptional speaker and coach. He was struggling with his voice due to the demands of his schedule and intense training diary. I grabbed him at tea time and gave him a few quick pointers about voice care, which made such an impact so quickly, it made me realise that many professional speakers may not have the same training as us singers, in how to care for their voices.  
  What would happen to your business or your work if you lost your voice? 
  If you speak for work, you are a professional voice user. You might be a teacher, a yoga instructor, a receptionist, a trainer, a motivational speaker, or work on the telephone. You don’t have to be an actor, politician or orator to be a professional voice user.  
  More and more our work involves doing live videos, speaking on podcasts, and giving presentations in all walks of life. This audiobook is here to help you develop and maintain fitness in your voice, primarily to keep you healthy.  
  In this book you will find exercises and advice for building strength and stamina in your voice, general voice care, developing performance skills in dynamics and modulation, and how to prepare for big events. 
  None of these exercises are intended to train your natural expression out of you, they are there to develop your comfort and skill in commanding your natural voice, and enable you to employ your greatest range of natural expression with ease.
