About this listen

From the wildly popular and innovative creator of @MakeBigTalk, a practical and comprehensive guide to forming deeper connections to combat loneliness and strengthen existing relationships

Our main source of connection these days has become increasingly superficial, with most people interacting primarily online. It's like we've forgotten how to talk to each other without a screen. But it is critically important for your mental and physical health to connect with others on a deeper level.

Through her platform @MakeBigTalk, Kalina Silverman has been creating a national movement to break through these surface-level interactions to have more substantial conversations. You'd be amazed at the incredible, brave, and fascinating people all around you. And to form a connection with them, all you have to do is learn how to skip the small talk.

Through practical tips and strategies, Big Talk empowers readers to initiate and navigate profound conversations with ease. Beyond honing communication skills, this book emphasizes the power of genuine human connection in alleviating loneliness, fostering empathy, and building stronger communities. Presented in short, easy-to-digest chapters, Big Talk is the ultimate guide for anyone looking to engage authentically and create more fulfilling relationships in both their personal and professional lives.
