Episode notes

A super communicator is someone who deeply understands how to communicate effectively. They can engage in conversations that make others feel understood, listened to, and valued. Super communicators establish a flow with others, inviting them into the conversation and making connections even in challenging circumstances. They excel at achieving neural entrainment, where biological connections like matching heart rates, breath rates, and brain activity occur during deep conversations.

Great communicators aren't born that way. They're self-made.

Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose new book, Supercommunicators, explores how some people have unlocked the secret language of connection.

Charles and I discuss what makes these "supercommunicators" unique, why we need stories to convey ideas, and how being honest once saved a CIA recruiter his job.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
