Episode notes

This chapter explores the profound impact of writing the book 'The Power of Habit' on the speaker's life, emphasizing the fulfillment and gratitude derived from connecting with readers. It discusses the challenges of writing a successful book, the ongoing efforts required post-publishing, and the uncertainties and pressures that come with achieving success. The chapter also reflects on promoting the book, the unpredictable nature of success, and the importance of focusing on the process rather than fixating on outcomes.

This week we are talking with one of the most prolific authors in decades, Charles Duhigg. You may know him from his NYT Bestselling Books, “The Power of Habit,” and “Better Faster Stronger.” His books have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide! In our episode this week, we are talking about his new book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.

Communication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect. These are the things you need to do to become….a supercommunicator.

Charles' book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection, is available now.
