Alex Ross’s award-winning international best seller, The Rest Is Noise, has become a contemporary classic, establishing him as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross described his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of Ross’s writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker.
These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively. In a previously unpublished essay, Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music history – from Renaissance dances to Led Zeppelin – through a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. He vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi, and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews with modern pop masters, such as Björk and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and to indie-rock hipsters in Beijing.
Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Witty, passionate, and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us how to listen.

Author: Paul Angone
Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

What are you supposed to do with your life? What deserves your limited reserve of energy, attention, and time? What’s making you anxious or frustrated right now? What would make you happy and fulfilled? The world is shouting its answers to these questions, but the real answers are quieter-and right in front of you. They are in the details of your day, every day. But we usually look right past them. Or we are simply so distracted we’ve lost the ability to see and hear the life going on right in front of us. If we’re not intentional about changing this trend, this "inattentional blindness" can rob us of years of joyful productivity. But when we learn to observe the details of our days, we discover new lenses through which to see and new practices of paying attention that add meaning to life. Stop drifting. Stop worrying. Stop living distracted. Walk purposefully through life with a firm grasp on what’s important to you and what you’re working toward-all by listening to the details of your day.

Listen to Yourself is a sympathetic little book about all the near things. It is mainly about energy, about being in harmony with the people and the things surrounding us. When we are in touch with our sixth sense, we are able to feel what to do to get a good life. We often ignore our inner voice. Some people do so almost all the time, others practice listening while others still constantly realise that they forgot to listen and are therefore taken by surprise or failing to obtain what is most important to them. Listening to oneself is not important in matters of love only, but in all aspects of life. By listening to ourselves we grow happier, and more harmonious and tolerant – and reading this straightforward little book you will soon find that perhaps it is not all that difficult. Listen to Yourself is easily understood and full of common sense, wisdom, good advice and exercises that may help you practice listening to your inner voice.
