How to see things as they really are. A better way to pay attention in a distracted world with Christian Madsbjerg.


Listen Later

Paying attention is a crucial human skill, yet many of us have forgotten how to listen carefully and observe intentionally. In this episode, we talk about how we can recapture our ability to pay attention that helps all of us to see with more empathy, accuracy, and connection to others.

Christian Madsbjerg founded (and sold) ReD Associates - a strategic innovation consultancy - with a group of likeminded people in 2007. He is the author of books on social theory and discourse analysis.

Christian's book, Look: How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World is available now.
