Hey, what's the harm in asking a few questions?
So many things I love about this piece. Namely, that you quoted Boy George. Might I add that curiosity is a wonderful thing, but combined with listening, it's even more astounding. We don't do enough of listening in this world right now.
Agreed. Sophie Stephenson (https://everythingisamazing.substack.com/p/sophie-stephenson-is-teaching-attention) tipped me off about the work of Nancy Kline, whom I think you'd enjoy: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/677960/the-promise-that-changes-everything-by-nancy-kline/9780241423516 And from a more nature-driven perspective, I can recommend Gordon Hempton's One Square Inch Of Silence: https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/One-Square-Inch-of-Silence/Gordon-Hempton/9781416559108 - a great (and alarming) introduction to acoustic conservation...
And thank you for the kind words. :)
(I should probably have led with that.)
