Deeply moving journey on relationships
I deeply admire the author of what he did. As he says at the end, he wrote this book for himself, after at some moment in his life he realized how little he knew about communicating and connecting with others and listening to them. He did much active research, talking not only with actual researchers, but also pursuing some interesting events where communication comes to the fore, and interviewing people involved. After all of this, he wrote the book, which I would consider brilliant.The book discusses several aspects of communication and several types of communication. Throughout the book, we go through negotiations, conflicts, emotional conversations, etc. The book’s goal never happens to make someone manipulative or teach him how to successfully acquire his goals by influencing by successful speech. It is all about genuine, deep connection with others. About realizing similarities between us in the face of a conflict, about sharing our emotions and seeking others’ with curiosity, and about understanding each other. This may sound like an overly idealistic vision, but the author convinced me it is possible and advantageous.The way of narration in the book is simple, but interesting, and does a job. I would say that each chapter has two different narrative lines. The first line is to tell some interesting story, which constitutes a background for the discussed topic, and at the same time greatly engages the reader. The second line is a more scientific one, where we explore research and psychological experiments on the topic. The two lines intertwine in a very engaging way. We get some portion of the story, and then we get a small cliffhanger, get some portion of knowledge, and go on with the story again. It may be simple, but it does a job of making the book engaging, interesting, as well as substantive. I also have to say that some chapters, especially those about emotions, moved me deeply.Each chapter gives something new to the topic. I feel like each of them is important. Besides longer chapters, deeply analysing a particular subject, there are also some smaller ones, telling what can we do to apply learned ideas in our daily life. Those chapters will probably serve well for me to review the content of the book in the future. Both types of chapters complement each other in the sense that by reading the longer ones we can understand the importance of the matter, while the shorter ones tell us what to do with this knowledge.I think this book can be very valuable for everyone. I expect however that some people, who prefer to just get synthesized knowledge in a quick, clear, and mostly scientific way, may be bored with the narration of the book. I like this kind of narration. I would even consider it brilliant.It was a great, very valuable, and deeply moving journey.

Meaningful and insightful
Gives a very good overview and put good words to the importance of good and meaningful coversation. Along with some very concrete tools to get better. Easy to read with good examples and relevant topics.

One of the few books that EVERYONE would benefit from reading!
This book is extremely insightful and accessible and breaks down the most important aspects of communication and connection. Without this, we are not human and the way that we connect with others is so valuable on so many levels. Whether it’s a friendship, relationship, doctor-patient, salesperson-client…all of these interactions help to build community and understanding and this book provides a succinct account of how those connections can be enhanced. I will be using this for my student leaders who help to mentor the freshmen in my school because the techniques described and the stories that are mentioned are very important and impactful. This book is a quick read and is one of the best that you will read if you give it a chance!

Excellent book that uses real research to show us how to communicate better.Very practical and research-based advice. I was able to start putting it into practice while still reading it.

For around a year end a half my readings have mainly focused on communication and psychology. This book summed and helped me with my understanding of those books and is really fun to read

“Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection” von Charles Duhigg ist ein herausragendes Werk, das sich mit den Feinheiten und der Macht der Kommunikation in unserer zunehmend digitalisierten Welt beschäftigt.Duhigg bekannt für seine Fähigkeit, komplexe Themen zugänglich und interessant zu machen, liefert hier wertvolle Einsichten und praktische Tipps, wie man seine Kommunikationsfähigkeiten verbessern kann.Ein besonderes Highlight des Buches ist das Kapitel über “Emotionale Intelligenz in der Kommunikation”. Duhigg erklärt, wie das Verständnis und die Nutzung emotionaler Signale die Qualität und Tiefe unserer Interaktionen erheblich verbessern können.Für IT-Berater, die oft technische Sachverhalte erklären und mit verschiedenen Stakeholdern interagieren müssen, ist diese Fähigkeit besonders wertvoll.Indem sie lernen, emotionale Hinweise zu erkennen und darauf einzugehen, können sie Missverständnisse vermeiden, Vertrauen aufbauen und effektivere Beziehungen zu ihren Kunden und Kollegen entwickeln.Das Buch bietet nicht nur theoretische Grundlagen, sondern auch konkrete Strategien und Techniken, die sofort anwendbar sind. Diese Ansätze sind nicht nur im IT-Bereich, sondern generell in jeder beruflichen und persönlichen Interaktion nützlich. Für mich Dienst das Buch als und eine Schlüsselrolle in der Gestaltung erfolgreicher und harmonischer Beziehungen spielt.

Very readable, with clear references. Persuasion/Negotiation/Mediation – if these form part of your work or life, this book should prove helpful. I usially find the narrative, informal way of writing case studies to be annoying and “American” (not sure how many of these books start with a story about post 911 counter-terrorism, feels like a lot) – but here the message is clear, and the footnotes are transparent about how the “story” element has been presented. Is there such a thing as a “Supercommunicator”? I dont know – though sone people are damn good at what they do – and this book provides a lot of insights.
