Bestselling author Charles Duhigg presents the ultimate guide on how to communicate and connect with anyone in his latest work, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection

In this groundbreaking book, Duhigg unravels the secrets of "supercommunicators" to reveal the art -- and the science -- of successful communication. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together and shows how even the trickiest 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 skeptic.

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.
