Beck C.H.

A Harvard professor deciphers the secret of good conversations. Although we talk to each other every day, we are often surprisingly bad at it. Even simple conversations can falter, remain superficial, or cause irritation. Renowned Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks shows why this is the case: conversations are among the most complex, demanding, and delicate tasks in our lives, where misinterpretations and misunderstandings can easily occur. Yet they hold enormous potential, as every single conversation offers the opportunity to get to know ourselves and others better, to feel connected, recognized, and alive.

Good conversations contribute significantly to a successful life. It is astonishing: once we better understand the hidden architecture of our everyday exchanges, we realize that even small improvements in our conversational behavior can have a great impact. From speed daters who ask too few or too many questions, to aspiring leaders who shy away from preparing conversations deliberately, to traffic stops where the tone of communication determines how the situation unfolds: based on her groundbreaking research experiments, Alison Wood Brooks introduces us to the world of conversations and helps us master the many small challenges and opportunities we encounter. What should I talk about? When and what should I ask? How much should I reveal about myself? And how can I make small talk less awkward and deep talk less exhausting?.
