Welcome to Litsy!

Reading this book while also imaging a conversation between these two. 🤣

I fell into the hype with this. Mostly it‘s what I already knew: find common ground, make connections with people rather than talking “at” them, practice active listening.
I think I mistakenly assumed this would help me crawl out of my introvert shell, but no book is likely to work that miracle! Not a bad book, and definitely one many people should read to help to understand each other better. We need more of that these days.

“We know that our brains have evolved to crave connection:When we “click” with someone, our eyes often start to dilate in tandem;our pulses match; we feel the same emotions and start to complete each other‘s sentences within our heads.This is known as natural entrainment, and it feels wonderful. Sometimes it happens and we have no idea why; we just feel lucky that the conversation went so well. Other times, even when we‘re desperate to bond with

I'm not sure how much of this I'm taking away and keeping but the case studies were interesting. There is a "confession" at the end that I think should have been upfront, as it may have changed how I took in the information.

This was very interesting. This made me think about the way that I listen and show people that I am listening. It also compares engagement in conversation. I liked it.

I wish I‘d read this earlier in life.
