Build a habit

Due to some changes in my life, I preferred to temporarily (or maybe permanently) switch to English language while blogging. Moreover, I will read a random article on a more random topic once in a while and note it down, here. Some comments might be added and might not.

Title: The conversational habits that build better connections

Topic: title is pretty suggestive

Highlights:

* “There is no such thing as conversation,” the novelist and literary critic Rebecca West famously wrote in her collection of stories, The Harsh Voice. “It is an illusion. There are intersecting monologues, that is all.”

* Ask questions

* Beware empathy

* Familiar topics are favored over novel ones

* It's ok to go deep

* Honesty proved to be much better than kindness
