Kate Murphy Knihy

Žijeme ve světě, kde technologie umožňují neustálou digitální komunikaci a nabízí stale nové možnosti, jak navazovat a rozvíjet vztahy. Přesto se zdá, že nikdo dopravdy nenaslouchá, nebo dokonce ani neví, jak na to. Díky tomu se cítíme více osamělí, izolovaní a méně tolerantní než kdykoli předtím. Novinářka New York Times Kate Murphy chce vědět, co se stalo. Murphy v této fascinující a často vtipné knize vysvětluje, proč nenasloucháme, co to s námi dělá a jak můžeme tento trend zvrátit. Lidsky podává psychologickou, neurovědeckou a sociologickou diskuzi na téma naslouchání a zároveň nás seznamuje se skutečnými odborníky (včetně agenta CIA, moderátorky diskuzní skupiny, barmana, rozhlasového producenta a špičkového prodavače nábytku). Její práce je stejnou měrou kulturní kritikou, vědeckou studií zkoumání i vzrušující výzvou ke změně, která je plná praktických rad a příběhů ze života. Je čas přestat mluvit a začít naslouchat.

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). It’s time to stop talking and start listening.

Alles eine Frage der Chemie Wir lernen jemanden kennen und es macht sofort »Klick«. Oder geraten ohne ersichtlichen Grund mit einem Kollegen aneinander. Hunderte klatschen plötzlich im Gleichtakt, beim Gehen fallen zwei Menschen in denselben Rhythmus. Das alles liegt am Phänomen des zwischenmenschlichen Synchronisierens. Das geht so weit, dass sich auch unsere Herzfrequenz und unsere neuronale und hormonelle Aktivität aufeinander abstimmen. Kate Murphy erläutert anhand von vielen Beispielen und aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen, wie Synchronität entsteht und wie unser Verhalten andere beeinflusst. Sie beleuchtet evolutionäre wie neurobiologische Zusammenhänge und bietet zugleich einen praktischen Leitfaden, wie wir diese Fähigkeit gezielt nutzen können.
