Kiku by Haru Yamada
A thoughtful and helpful insight into why listening matters and how to become a better listener.
Kiku--listening with fourteen hearts-is as powerful as the metaphor is beautifulCombining expertise in the field of linguistics with deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture, Haru Yamada shows that you're already listening in many different ways. Understanding those differences, you can harness and hone the skills you have, to better connect with your own inner voice and the people you talk to. -- Deborah Tannen, Distinguished University Professor, Georgetown University and author of You Just Don’t Understand

Her goal is to make listening a thoughtful part of everyday practice. She currently lives in London with her French partner, two multilingual, biracial, multicultural children in a hybrid working, bigenerational home.
