Book excerpt: Listen Learn Share goes beyond personal experience to look at listening, learning and sharing from many different standpoints including science, psychology and philosophy. It shows how practicing mindful listening, learning and sharing can improve your life in many ways beyond the simple definitions for each word of the book title. This story draws from the authors forty-six years of teaching, making documentaries, and writing. The book explains how the notion of listening, learning and sharing works, its roots in mindfulness and how the reader can use these methods to benefit their own lives and the lives of others in very practical and mutually beneficial ways. Have you ever asked yourself questions like: "Why does this always happen to me?" I'm successful but why am I not happy? Why is life so stressful? Why do certain things make me so angry? What causes rage? What is blocking my progress? This book will help you to answer these frustrating questions and others, as it takes you on a step-by-step journey exploring ideas about how the human mind works and how listening, learning and sharing can resolve these issues. Listen Learn Share is a story inspired by a question. "If you had to choose just one of the things you do, would you choose teaching, making documentaries, or writing?" His answer to the question surprised the author. He realized they were all the same experience so there was no need to choose. His life was listening, learning and sharing. It did not matter what form it took, it was all the same practice. How did this happen? Was listening the key to learning? What role did sharing play? He found that listening is a state of mind rather than a tool by itself. He discovered that listening is more than what is heard via sound waves entering the ears.
