Let's Talk: How to Have Better Conversations
Author: Nihal Arthanayake
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 288
Where do you start a conversation with people who have tried to kill your family? How can a hostage negotiator teach us to get someone on side in less than a minute? Can a Muslim woman who sat down with neo-Nazis teach us to be better listeners? Conversations are broken. And while effective dialogue is supposed to lead to greater fulfilment in our personal and professional lives, all the scientific evidence points towards us sharing fewer interactions than previous generations. From ever decreasing face-to-face meetings to echo chambers online, we no longer have the necessary tools to talk to each other.
