We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter

In this book, Celeste Headlee addresses the erosion of conversational skills in modern society, where most communication occurs behind electronic screens.

She argues that the only way to bridge the divides and feel more connected is to engage in real conversations.

The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the philosophy of conversation, and the second offers practical tools and strategies to improve communication.

Headlee draws from her experience as an NPR host and her TED Talk with over 10 million views to provide advice on being present, avoiding multitasking, and engaging in respectful and effective conversations.
