The Six Conversations

Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Incivility

By: Heather Holleman

Narrated by: Joy Vandervort Cobb

It’s time for a conversation revival!

Conversation is getting harder. We’re feeling more isolated. Loneliness is becoming an epidemic. The Six Conversations: Pathways to Connecting Again in an Age of Isolation and Incivility reflects one of the deepest passions of Dr. Heather Holleman’s heart: to connect people in loving community. Professor Holleman often fields questions like:

How can I foster meaningful connection with others?

Why doesn’t anyone ever ask meaningful questions?

If my personal happiness depends upon having warm relationships—like all the research shows—how can I become a better conversationalist and create connection?

Can you relate? Are you longing for loving, meaningful, and joyful conversations? For practical skills to connect with others? Heather invites us to reimagine better conversations. Her work demonstrates how we can develop authentic community by changing our relational mindsets to become more curious, to believe the best about others, to express concern about their lives, and to share our own. Heather shows us how to embrace the Four Mindsets of a Loving Conversation and the Three Fresh Goals for Conversation. Using the latest research, she shares the foundational training necessary for engaging in truly loving conversations. Listeners will be equipped with effective questions, self-assessments, and action steps to immediately implement in any situation—both personally and professionally.

If you desire deeper relationships with your spouse, dating partner, children, friends, in-laws, grandchildren, coworkers, clients, students, people in your neighborhood—or all the above—then listen to this book and grow in the art of The Six Conversations!

Useful conversational Strategies

I loved listening to these conversational tips and strategies from when I first heard about them on In The Market. I am already sharing this information with friends and professional colleagues. Think about putting them on color-coded index cards. Can’t wait to try them out and will have a chance tomorrow at an interview!

Life Changing Information

This book is easy to listen to as well as life changing information. While I would always like to hear Heather Holleman, Joy Vandervort Cobb is easy to listen to as well.

Incredibly helpful

This book is a wholistic guide to better conversation. Conversation is about learning to love well and becoming an expert at caring. This book gives practical, motivational, and cognitive tools towards that end.

This book could heal our society!

Heather has delineated and illustrated the art of conversation so clearly! Joy’s reading of the book was soothing to hear. They are a great team!

A new theology about conversation

I have been a pastor for years, but struggle with small talk. I have looked at conversations as quick transactions. This book made me think about how my conversations can reflect Jesus.
