The Big Talk Book!!!
Hi friends!
Over 10 years ago, I skipped the small talk and asked strangers one question: “What do you want to do before you die?” That moment grew into a movement — and now the Big Talk Book! You can officially preorder it now!
Release Date: February 24, 2025
Over the past decade, Big Talk has included interviewing strangers on the street, leading global workshops and hearing thousands of people share their stories. Now, everything I’ve learned about how to move beyond small talk and make meaningful human connections is coming together in one place.
Inside the Big Talk Book, you’ll find:
Stories from strangers, friends, and community members who opened up in Big Talk conversations.
Science and psychology behind why deeper connection matters and how it impacts our health and happiness.
Practical tools and Big Talk question prompts to help you move beyond small talk — at work, in relationships, and in everyday life.
Inspiration to build empathy, fight loneliness, and rediscover the joy of meaningful conversation.
This book is for everyone — for anyone who wants to connect more deeply, strengthen friendships, make new ones, or simply feel more human again.
If you’ve ever wanted to support my work — or if you believe, like I do, that the world needs more meaningful connection — please consider preordering the Big Talk Book today. Every preorder helps bring this message into the world.
