An Informative, Well Structured Examination of Conversational Science
4 stars
Combining a number of research streams around conversational content, style, and dynamics, Brooks presents an engaging and informative view of conversational science and clearly lays out how to apply these lessons. There were more space devoted to examples, particularly involving celebrities, than I found necessary, but I think most people will enjoy these sections. Overall, this is an excellent overview of the state of conversational science and its importance for a wide range of outcomes. Highly recommend
