Concise Product Title: Supercommunicators: Unlock the Language of Connection

From the bestselling author of The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg presents Supercommunicators, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work and how we can all learn to be more effective communicators in both our professional and personal lives. "A winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best," says Adam Grant, author of Think Again and Hidden Potential.

Duhigg blends his trademark storytelling skills with deep research to show us how we can identify and leverage the hidden layers that underlie every conversation. Whether we're inside a jury room, recruiting a reluctant foreign agent, or trying to convince a cancer patient to choose a less risky treatment, communication is a superpower, and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What's this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?).

If we don't recognize the type of conversation we're having, we're unlikely to connect effectively. Supercommunicators, however, know the importance of matching each kind of conversation and understanding the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and deeply held beliefs that shape our discussions, from the most mundane to the most critical.

Through captivating narratives that take us from the writers' room of The Big Bang Theory to the couches of leading marriage counselors, Duhigg demonstrates how our experiences, values, and emotional lives, as well as how we see ourselves and others, influence every conversation we have. He then provides the tools and skills we need to navigate these conversations more successfully, delivering a simple yet powerful lesson: with the right approach, we can connect with anyone.

In Supercommunicators, readers will learn why some people are able to make themselves heard and to hear others so clearly, and how they can develop these abilities themselves. Duhigg's storytelling and insights will transform the worst communicators into some of the best, empowering readers to unlock the full potential of their personal and professional interactions.
