Episode notes

Communication is primarily a learned skill, with the majority of it being acquired rather than innate. Our brains have evolved to reward the feeling of connection, which motivates us to form bonds for survival. The learning of communication skills begins at a very young age through nonverbal communication and social mimicry. However, as we grow older, we tend to focus more on verbal cues rather than nonverbal signals, impeding effective communication. Nonverbal communication, such as laughter, plays a significant role in human connection, often used to indicate a desire for connection rather than humor. Understanding and utilizing nonverbal cues is essential for successful communication and building meaningful connections.

Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.
