Meet Alison Wood Brooks, a professor at the Harvard Business School, mother of three, basketball enthusiast, and author of the new book TALK: The science of conversation and the art of being ourselves. Alison is passionate about helping students hone their conversation skills using an innovative MBA elective curriculum called "How to talk gooder in business and life."

Drawing from her expert background in the psychology of conversation, she developed an easy-to-remember acronym – TALK – that outlines the four pillars of communication: Topic selection, Asking questions, Levity, and Kindness.

Alison argues that conversation is one of the most complex, demanding, and delicate of all human tasks – and she’s on a mission to show others how to refine these skills to enhance both close personal relationships and professional success.

  • New methods that scientists are using to study conversation.
