Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection is a work of nonfiction by the journalist Charles Duhigg, published by Random House in February 2024. It examines the science of conversation and connection. A New York Times bestseller, it was an NPR best book of 2024.

Why do some people leave every conversation feeling understood, while others talk past everyone? Charles Duhigg's Supercommunicators argues that great communication is a learnable skill, not an innate gift. Drawing on neuroscience and case studies - a jury room, a CIA recruiter, a fraught marriage, a tense hospital - he shows that every discussion is really one of three conversations (practical, emotional or social) and that connection depends on recognizing which one you are in and matching it. Duhigg, the Pulitzer-winning author of The Power of Habit, is a gifted storyteller, and the book reads as briskly as the conversations it dissects. intendle recommends it for anyone who wants to be more persuasive, a better listener, or simply closer to the people in their life. A New York Times bestseller and an NPR best book of 2024, it turns the mysterious art of rapport into a set of usable tools. Practical, warm and immediately applicable, it may improve your very next conversation.
