Think about the conversations you have every day. There are the ones you have with your friends over coffee to catch up on life, the ones you have with a family member while walking the dog, and countless others throughout your week. While it may not seem like it, every conversation (yes, even the mundane ones!) is a negotiation, and once we have the skills to know which type of conversation we’re in, we can use every single conversation to better connect with those around us.
That’s what Charles Duhigg argues in his new book “Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.” He shares the difference between the three different types of conversation, and why knowing which one we’re engaged in can make all the difference.
In Mailbag, a listener asks about the red flags to look out for when choosing a high-interest savings account, and we hear from a retiree who’s wondering if they’re paying too much for private insurance. In our news of the week, we talk about what the Federal Reserve meeting last week means for your money. Additionally, we explore Unilever's decision to sell Ben & Jerry's, and how some families are handling the rising costs of storing frozen embryos.
