THE THIRD EAR CHRIS LONSDALE has lived and worked in Asia for a quarter-century. After studying psychology in New Zealand, where he spent the first 20 years of his life, he travelled to Beijing just after China opened to the West. An initial fascination with Chinese language and culture took him on an adventure that included travels all over China, intensive study in the Chinese martial arts, physical injury, and a subsequent reevaluation of life’s priorities. From China Chris moved to Hong Kong, which has been his base for the past 20 years. He currently runs his own business as a senior leadership coach and organisational advisor. This work takes him to many parts of the world, and gives him a privileged position to observe and influence some of the more complex problems faced by people in organisations. In the last 25 years Chris has visited places as diverse as the southern forests of India, the North Pole, and some of the world’s most important industrial and financial centres. Chris is a fluent speaker of English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and has dabbled in a number of other languages. He is married, with one daughter whom he says was, in many ways, the inspiration behind The Third Ear.  THE THIRD EAR Chris Lonsdale  Third Ear Books  THE THIRD EAR ISBN-13: 978-988-19845-24  ? 2006 Chris Lonsdale   Third Ear Publishing Ltd. 6/F Tung Hip Commercial Building, 244–248 Des Voeux Road, Hong Kong  chris.lonsdale@  Cover design: Daniel Chui Cartoons: Stephen Roberts Graphics: Andrew Mok Typeset in Minion by Alan Sargent  Second printing, 2007  All rights reserved.
