"Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves", an exploration into improving human communication.

They highlight the book's central TALK framework, which offers actionable advice across four key areas: 

Topics, guiding the progression from small talk to deeper discussions;

 Asking Questions, emphasising open-ended and follow-up inquiries; 

Levity, advocating for injecting humour and warmth; and 

Kindness, focusing on receptiveness, validation, and respectful language.

The texts also touch upon Brooks's research insights, such as the "Conversational Compass" for aligning communication goals, and practical applications for navigating both professional and personal interactions, including difficult conversations and effective apologies.

Overall, the sources collectively present a comprehensive overview of how to scientifically enhance conversational skills.
