Summary

After laying a powerful foundation in Part 1, Lisa and Charles now take the conversation deeper into mastering practical, emotional, and social types of dialogue—skills crucial for creating healthy, thriving relationships both at home and at work. Charles shares essential strategies for recognizing the type of conversation you’re in, matching your partner’s emotional state, setting boundaries, and knowing when to walk away for your own wellbeing. This segment covers tools for expressing your needs, handling toxic or manipulative patterns (like “kitchen sinking” or being steamrolled), and how to foster genuine connection—even during disagreements. Charles and Lisa discuss nonverbal cues, the role of humor and laughter in building bonds, the neuroscience of emotional synchronization, and how to invite deeper conversation through “deep questions.” SHOWNOTES26:46 Emotional Conversations—The Power of Self-Awareness36:38 When Someone Won’t Communicate: Knowing When to Walk Away42:05 Social Conversations: Acknowledgement and Belonging52:09 Synchronization: Neuroscience of Connected Conversation65:32 When You’re Furious, Get Curious: Transforming Conflict with Questions FOLLOW CHARLES DUHIGG:Website: https://charlesduhigg.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cduhiggInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlesduhiggLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesduhigg/ CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to ⁠https://www.vitalproteins.com⁠ and entering promo code WOI at check out.
