About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the author of the global bestseller, The Power of Habit
Who and what are supercommunicators? They're the people who can steer a conversation to a successful conclusion. They are able to talk about difficult topics without giving offence. They know how to make others feel at ease and share what they think. They're brilliant facilitators and decision-guiders. How do they do it?
In this groundbreaking new book, Charles Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art - and the science - of successful communication. He unpicks 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 sceptic.
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.

I finished it, it must have been good!
Great mix of content that provided many insights and practical applications of ideas discussed, backed by research. I start many books but this was one I actually finished which is rare. Thanks for the audio format and very engaging narration x

The stories and tips
The narrator was great, the voice, pace and tone was really nice to listen to. The book contains many stories which together with the tips and "rules" makes this book a must have if you are a manager, work in hr, recruitment or just want to know more about communication. Highly recommended.

I’m doing a lot wrong
Simple to understand although I provably need to listen to it a few more times to truly be able to implement some of the tactics

Good start, then becomes turgid
Great start with some clear thoughts - very valuable.
Then, after a while, it all gets very turgid - like walking in tar.
Sounds like someone is reading a dull textbook, with little feeling, little new information, just going round and round in circles.
I couldn't hack through this any more, so got a refund and re-credit.
Shame, because the first hour or so was great.
Ah well, not such a Supercommunicator then ;)

dedicated and credible
Very positive, relevant and basic. Very good narration. Makes the topic overcomeable, and lighthearted. Thank you!

A bit woke
Some interesting stuff but ruined by overt left leaning subliminal messaging from plugging Derrida, the COVID shot, gender identity (not sex), etc. hey ho.
