The Lost Art of Listening with Julian Treasure: How Sound Shapes Our Well-being and Relationships

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Julian Treasure—acclaimed sound expert, five-time TED speaker, and author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business—to explore the critical skill we’ve forgotten: listening. Julian unpacks how our noisy, fast-paced world has led to a global erosion of our ability to truly hear each other and how that impacts our leadership, relationships, and mental wellness. He introduces actionable tools like the RASA method and shares the deeper significance of “conscious listening” as a foundation for more mindful, connected lives.

With over 150 million TED Talk views, Julian has helped millions understand how sound affects us and why intentional listening is essential. He is the author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business, and founder of The Listening Society, a global initiative committed to restoring listening in our culture.

Key Takeaways:

• Listening is a skill, not a passive act. Hearing is natural; listening is intentional and practiced.

• Impatience is eroding our communication. The digital age favors reaction over reflection.

• Conscious listening changes relationships. Awareness of your “listening position” can transform how others feel seen and valued.

• Noise is costing us. Miscommunication and disengagement from poor listening cost businesses $10 trillion globally.

• Practical tools like RASA (Receive, Appreciate, Summarize, Ask) help foster deeper conversations.

• Silence is healing. Practicing moments of daily silence recalibrates your mental clarity and emotional state.
