Talking and evolution

Start learning

What is this lesson is about?

It seems that less and less people are comfortable starting conversations with strangers these days. Our smartphones keep us company, and we often get uncomfortable when we have to interact with an actual human we don’t know. But – as I saw in my exchange with the man at the Vietnam Memorial – conversations with strangers have the potential to be incredibly meaningful and fulfilling. And that’s exactly the argument Joe Keohane makes in his book The Power of Strangers.
