The 4 Keys to Better Conversations (Even When They're Messy) | Alison Wood Brooks

Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks reveals why those perfectly polished conversations we see in movies and TV are actually making it harder for us to connect in real life.

In her new book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves, she shares the surprising science behind why messy, imperfect conversations often lead to deeper connections, and offers her practical TALK framework for transforming everyday interactions into meaningful moments of genuine connection. Learn why face-to-face conversations generate 30 times more laughter than digital ones, and discover simple techniques for asking better questions that create real understanding.
