27 分钟Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the Happiness lab, hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, she's tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Some of the biggest communication challenges we face take place, giving feedback, revealing personal information, apologizing.
The key to addressing these tricky communication issues is to connect and foster mutually respectful relationships.
Yet many of us have never learned how to initiate, build, and sustain these types of relationships.
Hello, I'm Matt Abrahams, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
To learn more about the importance of connection and how to foster deep personal relationships, I am thrilled to be joined by Carol Robin, and David Bradford, who both taught the wildly popular GSB class interpersonal dynamics, also known as touchy Feely.
Together, they have just written the book connect, building exceptional relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
Thank you, Carol and David, for being here.
Glad to be here.
First off, congrats on your book.
I really enjoyed reading it.
You know, I assess the value of a book by how many clear takeaways I can immediately put into practice.
And by that measure, your book was a huge success.
Shall we get started?
