Bestselling author Duhigg presents the ultimate guide on how to communicate and connect with anyone at work, home, and in life in his latest work "Supercommunicators." Join us for this virtual event.

Join us for a virtual event with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg. The author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better presents the ultimate guide on how to communicate and connect with anyone at work, home, and in life in his latest work Supercommunicators

In this groundbreaking book, Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art - and the science - of successful communication. He unpacks the different types of everyday conversation and pinpoints why some go smoothly while others swiftly fall apart. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together. And he shows how even the most tricky of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine skeptic.

Above all, he reveals the techniques we can all master to successfully connect with others, however tricky the circumstances. Packed with fascinating case studies and drawing on cutting-edge research, this book will change the way you think about what you say, and how you say it.

Learn how to enhance your everyday conversations!

Charles Duhigg is an author and a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist. A graduate of Harvard Business School and Yale University, he is a winner of the National Academies of Sciences, National Journalism, and George Polk awards. He writes for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine, and was the founding host of the Slate podcast How To! with Charles Duhigg.
