I’ve heard to no end that listening skills are one of the most important, yet underdeveloped skills we have.
I consider myself a decent listener, but find it to be a pretty active thing. When I “listen,” I tend to be thinking a lot….processing things, trying to summarize things in my mind, paraphrasing, etc.
During my yoga class today, my teacher made a pretty profound statement….
“Listening occurs in the absence of thought.”
I guess I am not so good at it after all!

Hey Ravi,
Stumbled upon your blog thru Tim Ferris’s site. Anyway how did your expeiment go with his workout? I noticed you were doing some blending. If you are continuing with this you should look into a 3hp blender to break down the phytochemicals plant matter contains. Anyway enjoyed your blog.
