Description
Conversations shape our lives in ways we often don't realise. Yet, we often rely on stereotypes and myths about communication. This book changes that by explaining the science behind conversation.
Elizabeth Stokoe, a social psychologist, has spent over twenty years studying real conversations in various settings, from first dates to medical communication. Her research reveals fresh insights into how to have better conversations, using evidence from fifty years of research about the science of talk.
Through real-life examples and her own research, Stokoe challenges common assumptions about conversation and offers practical advice on how to improve your communication skills.
