Overview
Does the thought of small talk with strangers make you want to hide under the couch?
Do you crave close friendships but find yourself overanalyzing every social interaction afterward?
Do you want to be seen as confident, capable, and genuinely likable — without feeling fake or forced?
Are you tired of communication advice that makes you feel manipulative, rehearsed, or inauthentic?
If you feel like you were never taught the unspoken rules for how to interact with others, look no further. In Conversation, popular behavior researcher and bestselling people skills author Vanessa Van Edwards delivers a practical, science-backed playbook for transforming how you show up in any situation. Grounded in decades of research and written in clear, engaging language, Conversation gives you a powerful framework for mastering small talk, building instant rapport, and being the most memorable person in the room (in a good way!)
