In this episode of Bookworm, Joe & I look at Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle. In our digital age, it’s easy to stay connected. Emails, text messages, and social media allow us to share snippets of our lives with others- without really having to look, listen, or reveal ourselves. Today’s author argues that we have lost the art of conversation, and makes the case that now, more than ever, is the time to get it back.
Do you ever find yourself reacting to something, then immediately saying something like, “I can’t believe I just did that?” It may not be your fault – at least, not entirely. Join Joe & I as we take a look at the triggers in our own environments and consider how to overcome them – without doing or saying something that we’ll later regret.
