The Age of Humans

Episode 1: Does learning a new language change your perception?

Transcripción:
¿Qué es la creatividad para ti?
La capacidad para ver caminos inusuales, llegar a soluciones inesperadas, la capacidad para convertir los pequeños detalles en protagonistas, la capacidad para percibir texturas, formas, olores, sabores, sonidos de una manera profunda y poder producir muestras con aproximaciones de tu realidad mental o es un viaje que hace tu mente a lugares donde todo es posible. Yo percibo la creatividad como un viaje de libertad y un fuerte deseo de exploración y expansión humana.

Episodio 4: ¿Qué es la creatividad para ti?

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.

Master the Art of Conversation: Active Listening Best Practices
In today's fast-paced world, truly being heard can feel like a luxury. Active listening, however, goes beyond simply hearing words. It's a powerful communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. Here are some best practices to elevate your active listening game:

Be Present: Put away distractions like phones and silence internal chatter. Focus solely on the speaker, conveying attentiveness through eye contact and open body language.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay attention not just to words, but also to tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. These nonverbal cues can reveal underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.

Embrace Silence: Don't feel pressured to fill every pause. Comfortable silence allows the speaker to gather their thoughts and express themselves fully.

Ask Clarifying Questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness. This also helps identify any misunderstandings early on.

Acknowledge Emotions: Validate the speaker's feelings with empathy. Show you understand their perspective, even if you don't agree.

Minimize Interruptions: Allow the speaker to finish their thoughts before responding. Interrupting hinders their flow and can come across as dismissive.

By incorporating these practices, you become a more engaged and supportive listener. This strengthens relationships in all areas of life, from building trust with clients to fostering deeper connections with loved ones. Remember, active listening is a continuous journey. With practice, you'll become a master of communication, fostering a world where everyone feels heard and understood.
