There’s a brilliant TED Talk by Julian Treasure about the sound that surrounds us every day and listening itself. If you think about it, wherever you go there is a scenery of different sounds playing together. The result is a mixture that makes you identify your location even without having to see it.

The problem Julian Treasure points out is that in todays society, people tend to forget listening. We use headphones to isolate our senses while we forget how amazing a sound scenery can feel like. Fortunately, Julian introduces us to some easy practices that allows us to train our hearing. For example: Try to isolate the separate channels you can hear in an environment and make out where they come from.It is amazing how many different sounds you are able to hear.
