You are one conversation away from changing your life.

We all crave connection. We were never meant to live alone or communicate only in "likes" and retweets. In Every Conversation Counts, TV host and human connection keynote speaker Riaz Meghji digs deep into the dangers of isolation and loneliness, our social pandemic, that have been brought into sharp relief by the coronavirus crisis. He tackles a uniquely modern question: why are we so connected, and yet so alone—and how can we reconnect?

Sharing personal insights from powerful interviews and years of on-air experience, Meghji offers 5 simple habits for building extraordinary relationships. He explains how to spark authentic conversations, win trust, create new business, and collaborate effectively. Meghji points a way forward to a better future—one in which we express genuine curiosity about others, listen with our whole hearts, show up as our authentic selves, and make every conversation count.

      Former TV host Meghji draws on his career as an interviewer in this brisk and timely take on making the most of social encounters. He discusses such topics as active listening, adding depth to small talk, and using “assertive empathy” to show interest in another’s “personal reality” during difficult conversations. His approach encourages the virtues of attention, empathy, vulnerability, and appreciation, and has many similarities to the classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, but the context is thoroughly modernized, with significant consideration to how the pandemic era has changed relationships. A particularly salient chapter, greatly aided by Meghji’s experience in broadcasting, explores how to foster connection through the awkward medium of video calls; he suggests trying to make eye contact with the camera, not the computer screen, and to disable your view of your own video. Readers looking to have more meaningful interactions would do well to pick this up.
