Summary

This week Scott is joined by Robert Biswas-Diener and Christian van Nieuwerburgh, pioneers in positive psychology coaching and co-authors of the new book Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection. Together, they share powerful insights on how to deepen our conversations and relationships through the transformative practice of radical listening.
Robert and Christian explore their framework for truly listening, which includes the practices of noticing, quieting, accepting, acknowledging, questioning, and interjecting. This conversation is a masterclass in co-creating meaning and cultivating empathy in our interactions. They also provide guidance through the science and art of connection—something the world deeply needs right now.
