“Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”

“You read about people like you in myths and in the Lore, struggling with their gifts. But it's the struggle that brings greatness. If your powers came easily to you, without incident, you would never appreciate them as you should. And you would no' be a good leader because you would be impatient with others who did have to work hard. It never comes easy to the great warriors in history.”

“Duke University’s legendary basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, or Coach K as he’s often called, famously came up with the dictum, widely practiced in sports, of “next play.” If you miss a shot in basketball, swing and miss in baseball, or throw an interception in football, you should quickly reset your mind and keep going. Focus on the task at hand rather than on what just happened.”

"I agree. A man is not entitled to be called a father merely because he once had a well-timed spasm of the loins.”

“This is the ultimate goal of conversational kindness: to convey our recognition of people as they want to be seen—as complex, valuable individuals who are worthy of attention and care. Indeed, acceptance of difference is not an additional requirement for us to remember on top of our TALK skills—it is the point. Everyone we talk to is more than one or two or a few things, and every good conversation involves working mightily to suspend overly simplified stereotypical thinking and treat each human as highly nuanced and uniquely valuable.”
