Is communication an art or a skill? Why are some people better at it than others? Are there any secrets to unlock and learn to achieve it?
It is an understatement to say that communication is an important tool to succeed in life. This is whether to get an upper hand in one’s career or to establish better interpersonal relationships.
David Menacker, editor of New Yorker and editor in chief of Random House has a new book, A Good Talk, which dissects the science behind the art of effective communication.
In a recent interview with Time Magazine, he answered interesting questions such as:
What do you do when you’re talking to a boring person?
Does hanging out in bars really help out someone to become a better conversationalist?
Is a phone interview considered an actual conversation?
How do you talk about politics and religion without affecting people’s sensibilities?
