#490: Great communication will get you a raise.

It'll get you promoted. You'll land the corner office.

You'll make friends and be the life of the party.

You'll land business deals and form lucrative partnerships.

Supercommunication is a superpower.

But how do we build it?

Sometimes, you might walk away from a conversation with the joy of having made a cool new friend.

Or you snagged a critical piece of information that you realllllly needed. Or you successfully negotiated an extra $5,000 off your car.

On the flip side, sometimes you'll walk away from a conversation, scratching your head and wondering … “What just happened?”

If either of these situations have happened to you, Charles Duhigg will help you understand WHY.

Duhigg is a Pultizer Prize winning reporter. He holds an undergrad degree from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. He wrote for the LA Times and New York Times, before landing at The New Yorker.
