Episode notes

Social conversations play a significant role in defining values and norms within a culture. Sharing gossip allows individuals to communicate societal norms and values to others without explicitly stating them. Through gossip, people discuss behaviors that are appreciated or frowned upon, ultimately helping individuals understand their own identities in relation to others.

Our guest in this episode is Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and writer for the New Yorker Magazine who is also the New York Times Bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better. His new book is Supercommunicators, a practical and approachable guide to what makes great conversations work. In the episode we discuss the science behind what it takes to form a connection with another human being through dialogue, how to generate or nurture a bond, and how to form, repair, and maintain a conversational pipeline through listening and communicating that guarantees reciprocation and understanding.
