#77 - The Conformity of Silence

In today’s episode, I’ll be reading a brilliant article about one of the easiest and most effective ways to become a better communicator (in any language). The author, Bryan Caplan, is a Professor of Economics at George Mason University, and a New York Times Bestselling author. You can check out his work at https://substack.com/@betonit. No matter what your first language is, and no matter what your current level of English is, I can guarantee that you or someone you know will identify with the scenario that Bryan lays out in this article.Timestamps:0:00 Intro1:00 The Conformity of Silence by Bryan Caplan4:51 Explaining some key vocabulary29:05 The Psychology of Conformity36:14 Cultural Differences in Social Interaction41:14 Technology and Social Isolation52:59 Overcoming Social Anxiety1:10:22 Subscribe on Patreon1:10:54 Outro…For access to transcripts, PDF study guides, and bonus podcast episodes, subscribe on Patreon! 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradioDownload my e-book Mastering English with Podcasts 👉 https://rb.gy/kgh1oFind me on social media!https://bio.link/tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.
