07 Apr 2025

Description

Why do some conversations feel electric while others fall flat? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg (The Power of Habit, Supercommunicators) to explore what really makes people connect. You'll learn how brain scans reveal that during powerful conversations, people's brains literally sync up. Duhigg breaks down the three types of conversations everyone has—and why knowing which one you're in can instantly improve your communication.
