Supercommunicators
The bestselling author of The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg, returns with Supercommunicators, a transformative guide to mastering the art of communication and influence. In this groundbreaking book, Duhigg delves deep into the mechanics of effective communication, unveiling the secrets behind those who excel at navigating complex conversations and forging meaningful connections.
Through a series of compelling case studies, Duhigg demonstrates how supercommunicators manage to steer discussions towards successful outcomes, even when dealing with difficult topics. From a CIA operative who persuades a reluctant spy, to a juror who changes the minds of fellow jurors in what seemed like an open-and-shut case, to a doctor who effectively communicates with a vaccine sceptic, Duhigg illustrates how the right conversational techniques can turn any tricky encounter around.
But what exactly makes these individuals so skilled? Supercommunicators possess the unique ability to put others at ease, encourage open dialogue, and lead conversations with finesse. They use a blend of art and science to engage others, employing specific questions and strategies that foster understanding and collaboration.
In Supercommunicators, Duhigg unpacks the different types of everyday conversations to understand why some go smoothly while others quickly derail. He reveals the conversational tactics that can bridge gaps, build relationships, and create a sense of shared purpose. Whether in the workplace or in personal interactions, these techniques are not limited to a select few—they can be learned and mastered by anyone willing to put in the effort.
Backed by cutting-edge research and enriched with insightful anecdotes, this book is more than just a roadmap to better communication. It’s a powerful tool that will change the way you think about conversations and how you engage with others. Ideal for anyone looking to enhance their communication skills, Supercommunicators is an essential read for those who want to connect more effectively, resolve conflicts gracefully, and inspire others.
As Adam Grant, the bestselling author and professor, puts it: "This is not just a riveting read about how to understand others better. It's also a revealing look at how to be understood."
Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard Business School professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author, echoes this sentiment, saying: "If you want to improve your communication skills at work and in life, this book is the place to start."
David Epstein, bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene, adds: "Charles Duhigg goes through a mountain of research—and some riveting stories—and unearths practical tactics to show that anyone can become a more effective listener, speaker, and even social media poster."
Discover the transformative techniques of Supercommunicators and take the first step towards becoming a masterful communicator today.
