What To Talk About

Chronicle Books

We have it so much better than every other animal: we have the gift of speech. 

Although it's hard to believe it's a gift when we're standing in an elevator or other enclosed space with a stranger. 

What is wrong with us?

Rob Baedeker and Chris Colin fill the gaps in conversation in their book What to Talk About.  Rob Baedeker joins us.
