S11 Ep568: Episode 568. Why Aren't We Taught How To Communicate In School with Charles Duhigg

This week on Radically Loved, Rosie Acosta and Charles Duhigg discuss the importance of communication and the lack of communication education in schools. They explore the three different types of conversations - practical, emotional, and social - and how understanding these can improve our connections with others. Charles shares the skills of asking deep questions, proving that we're listening, and showing a desire to connect. They also discuss the power of connection and the impact it has on our well-being. Charles emphasizes the importance of maintaining close relationships and weak ties. Overall, the conversation highlights the significance of effective communication in building meaningful connections. Three reasons to listen to the whole podcast:  1.
