The Lost Art of Random Conversations

We've forgotten how to talk to each other. Not the small talk... the real, meaningful conversations. The kind where you say what's true instead of what's expected, and ask questions you're actually curious about instead of "what do you do?" or "how's the weather?" In a society that's increasingly lonely, anxious, and glued to our phones, talking to strangers may be one of the most powerful ways to become a better partner, friend, parent, and human. Through honest stories and practical tools, The Lost Art of Random Conversations shows why one conversation with a stranger can transform the way you connect with everyone in your life: your partner, your coworkers, even the family member you think you already know everything about. You already have what it takes.
You're just out of practice. And the people around you? They're carrying a unique story and perspective you haven't asked about yet. They're just waiting for you to go first.
