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.

Critic reviews

This is not just a riveting read about how to understand others better. It’s also a revealing look at how to be understood. Charles Duhigg delivers a winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best. (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential)
Our personal and professional success depend upon our ability to understand and be understood, and yet, we typically leave this up to intuition. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg goes through a mountain of research — and some riveting stories — and unearths practical tactics to show that anyone can become a more effective listener, speaker, and even social media poster. (David Epstein, bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene)
Charles Duhigg does it again, with a book we all need to read. Using his unique mix of stories and science, he gives us Supercommunicators, a guide to better conversation and deeper human connection. If you want to improve your communication skills at work and in life, this book is the place the start. (Arthur C. Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times bestselling author of FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH and co-author (with Oprah Winfrey) of BUILD THE LIFE YOU WANT)

This is a book I know I will come back to again and again, as there is so much to learn and understand. This book, through it's clear storytelling, helps to get down to the why of communication. Thank you Charles Duhigg for sharing this book with us 🙏

Charles Duhigg not only shares some clear guidelines for the kinds of conversations that help you connect, but also includes memorable stories to drive home the points in the book, with examples from the creation of Big Bang Theory, internal politics at Netflix, and the negotiating manoevers of a US foreign spy handler (not sure of the phrasing) to name a few.

He also brings it all together in the epilogue to remind us what good communication and solid relationships can do for our lives and longevity.

Worth reading if you're interested in improving how you communicate with others, whether for professional or personal reasons.
