Alan Alda & Steven Pinker: Secrets of Great Communication

Communication is key in connecting with others in every area of our lives now more than ever.

Join Alan Alda, the actor, writer, science advocate and 7-time Emmy Award-winner, who in 2014 was named a fellow of the American Physical Society for his work in helping scientists improve their communicating skills when he’s joined by one of the world’s leading authorities on language and the mind, linguist and Harvard Psychology professor Steven Pinker for a spirited discussion about how to relate and communicate better—at home, at work, a whole room full, or because of the current crisis alone with one person on the internet. Mr. Pinker’s popular books include Enlightenment Now (which Bill Gates called his “new favorite book of all time.”) We could all be better communicators. This constructive and entertaining talk will show you how!
