Foreword by Norman Doidge MD author of The Brain's Way of Healing

In When Listening Comes Alive, Paul Madaule re-awakens a skill that we all have - a skill that can improve communication, creativity and learning, allowing a fuller and more energetic life. Paul demystifies Listening Training as both clinician and client. Diagnosed as dyslexic at an early age, he experienced a remarkable recovery with the help of Dr Alfred Tomatis. Since then, at The Listening Centre in Toronto, Paul has helped thousands of people for over 35 years. He has summarized listening training and has included a unique selection of "Earobics", daily exercises to develop and improve your listening skills. This is a book about listening through life - for parents-to-be, hard working professionals, teachers, early childhood educators and parents seeking help for children with learning disabilities, ADHD or in the autistic spectrum. When Listening Comes Alive is a guide to a better and more fulfilling way of living.

Born in France, Paul Madaule studied at the University of Paris-Sorbonne while training with Dr. Alfred Tomatis and graduated in psychology in 1972. After years of practicing and teaching the Tomatis Listening Training work in Europe and South Africa, Paul came to Toronto Canada in 1978 to start The Listening Centre.

Paul was involved in setting up centres in the US and Mexico and he created Listening Fitness with the  LiFT®, a portable audio-device and professional training course that provides the listening work to wider audiences.

Paul is also the author of numerous articles on subjects related to the educational and therapeutic value of music, voice and Listening Training with children with developmental and learning problems. He also co-authored About the Tomatis Method. The book When Listening Comes Alive, first published in 1993, is translated in ten Languages.

Paul is currently a director of The Listening Centre in Toronto.
