No Small Endeavor with Lee C. Camp
Society & Culture
How important is it to be a good conversationalist?
In an age of widespread loneliness, close relationships are at a premium, and it’s harder than ever to find common ground, even with those we spend time with on a daily basis. According to Heather Holleman, this is due in part to the fact that we have lost the ability to have what she calls “good conversations.”
“Good conversations create personal closeness,” she says. “When you have good conversations, it could intervene in the loneliness epidemic.”
In this episode, she discusses her book “The Six Conversations: Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Inactivity,” in which she offers loads of practical tips for becoming better listeners, talkers, question askers, and ultimately, human beings.
