TED 대화 분야 최고 조회수 기록(1,300만)!

토크계의 황제 래리 킹을 잇는 대화의 연금술사!

이 책의 저자인 셀레스트 헤들리는 CNN, BBC, MSNBC 등 여러 유명 방송국에서 20년 가까이 뉴스와 각종 프로그램을 진행한 베테랑 방송인이다. 그녀가 TED에서 진행한 강연은 전 세계적으로 1,300만 조회수를 기록함으로써 대화법 분야 최고 조회수를 기록했다. 그녀는 방송국 스튜디오를 항상 대화 실험의 장으로 여기고, 어떤 식으로 대화를 나눠야 사람들과의 소통이 보다 훌륭하게 될 수 있는지 연구해 왔다.

그녀가 이 책에서 제시하는 내용은 단순히 말솜씨나 말재주를 향상시키기 위한 대화술이 아니다. 대신 저자는 상대가 누구이든, 어떤 대화 상황이든 반드시 지켜야 할 대화의 원칙들을 제시한다. 그런 대화의 원칙들을 지킨다면 말재주가 부족하더라도 얼마든지 진실되고 훌륭한 대화를 나눌 수 있게 될 것이며, 유쾌하고 기분 좋은 소통이 가능하게 될 것이다.

"WE NEED TO TALK."

Now in paperback, public radio journalist Celeste Headlee's insightful and urgent book on how to bridge what divides us--by having real conversations

BASED ON THE TED TALK WITH OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS
NPR's Best Books of 2017

"We Need to Talk is an important read for a conversationally-challenged, disconnected age. Headlee is a talented, honest storyteller, and her advice has helped me become a better spouse, friend, and mother." (Jessica Lahey, author of New York Times bestseller The Gift of Failure)

Today most of us communicate from behind electronic screens, and studies show that Americans feel less connected and more divided than ever before. The blame for some of this disconnect can be attributed to our political landscape, but the erosion of our conversational skills as a society lies with us as individuals.

And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other. In We Need to Talk, she outlines the strategies that have made her a better conversationalist--and offers simple tools that can improve anyone's communication. For example:

* BE THERE OR GO ELSEWHERE. Human beings are incapable of multitasking, and this is especially true of tasks that involve language. Think you can type up a few emails while on a business call, or hold a conversation with your child while texting your spouse? Think again.
* CHECK YOUR BIAS. The belief that your intelligence protects you from erroneous assumptions can end up making you more vulnerable to them. We all have blind spots that affect the way we view others. Check your bias before you judge someone else.
* HIDE YOUR PHONE. Don't just put down your phone, put it away. New research suggests that the mere presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality of a conversation.

Whether you're struggling to communicate with your kid's teacher at school, an employee at work, or the people you love the most--Headlee offers smart strategies that can help us all have conversations that matter.
