All Ears English Podcast

I read some of his books like 10 years ago and all of a sudden I had a chance to interview him and that was cool.

You guys are going to have to go and check that out.

There is a special kind of person in the world, a super communicator, but guess what? Everyone can become a super communicator.

And in that episode he shows us how to do it and what is it that these people do differently than others?

So that's all that I'll say, but definitely go and check out my interview with Charles Huhigg.

Read one of your original books, The Power of Habit, but I'd like to take a minute to introduce you to our audience.

So for our listeners guys today, I have Charles Duhigg on the show. He is the author of The New York Times bestsellers, The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better.

He was actually, he was on, I think it was on NBC, MSNBC, and he was on All Years English and he is on many other shows.

So what our listeners could do is just type in Charles Duhigg, find his interviews, his round of interviews. He's done on multiple podcasts and listen to all of them.

It's going to be more or less about the same topic of how to be a super communicator, but you're going to have different angles.

I started reading your book, your new book called, what is it called? What's the new book that you have out here?

Super communicators. Unlock, how to unlock the secret language of connection.

And I saw that title and I said, boom, that's it. We need to have you on the show because here at All Years English, that is our vision.

We always say on all our English that it's important to learn vocabulary in context. Not everyone is learning for the same reason. So since Rosetta Stone lets you select your learning goals like tourism or business, you actually get relevant vocabulary and pronunciation for what is happening in your life right now.

Also, we like Rosetta Stone's lifetime membership offer. It offers 25 different languages for any or all trips and languages that you might need forever. Maybe you want to take multiple trips and learn different languages throughout your lifetime. Well, you can do it with Rosetta Stone.

That's lifetime access to all 25 language courses that Rosetta Stone has to offer at 50% off. It is a steal. So don't put off language learning any longer. There's no better time than right now to get started.

Yeah, because it immerses you in the language. You learn naturally and intuitively by acquiring phrases, then sentences, then you're ready for full conversations, and of course, connection. And with Rosetta Stone, you improve fast because there are no translations into your native language. I also love that it's available on desktop or as an app.

it's interesting because um, actually my, I'm reading a book to my son and there was a part where they talked about this and they talked about not asking how many, it just is a fiction book about, you know, what people make.

I think there's a whole book entitled Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, right?

I never read it, but I always wanted to.

I think I've been on my shelf for the last five years and then maybe I don't need it. Never read it, but I have to get it back.

So that's what he writes about. He writes about theories and society and trends and changes.

I know when I was learning French, The Little Prince, Petit Prince, was the one everyone was supposed to read. And I just kind of like, meh, meh. I really wasn't that into it.

She read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Great Expectations by Dickens.

So when you disrupt yourself, what are you doing? It's a deliberate process of self innovation. It's a decision to build new neural pathways to rewire your brain.

So I'll just say that up front. So when you disrupt yourself, what are you doing? It's a deliberate process of self innovation.

And, and the, the genesis of this is that I had the privilege of working with Clayton Christensen at Harvard business school for the better part of a decade. And he talked about this term of disruptive innovation was very focused on products and services and companies and countries. And I had this aha that organizations don't disrupt people do.

And the only way then your organization or anything in the world can make progress is if we as individuals are willing to disrupt ourselves. Yes, I love that. That's what it is. So progress only comes through disruption.

So when I say running a predictive model, I mean your brain is doing this thing of saying, like you said, here's what it's going to be like when I get off the plane. Here's what it's going to be like when I go and talk to someone for the first time in Spanish or try to listen to them in Spanish.

like she reads fan fiction novels and these stories she would read in English every night.

So for our listeners guys today, I have Charles Duhigg on the show. He is the author of The New York Times bestsellers, The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better.

It's always on the airlines. I love it. And at the beginning of the movie, it said based upon the novel by XYZ. There's so many movies that are based upon novels, but my point is they always say based, usually they say based upon the novel by not based on.

I remember I read a book about um the market and industry and diamonds and it talked about how diamonds aren't really necessarily as any more valuable than other stones it's just that they because of marketing years ago it just became the symbol of love and wealth and romance right

Oh, yeah. We just came out with a book, actually. Really? Interesting. Okay. Yeah, like a memoir.

It's a brand where it's a book. You can buy it stories just by normal people. And you can also sign up to go on stage and tell your story in local cities.

So people buy tickets to go to these just normal people that have been through something noteworthy, which could actually be very basic, but they do a good job of telling the story or something you ever wrote.

I recently read Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises and I really got a great recommendation for it and it just didn't do it for me, Michelle.

It just feels like he's talking a lot about just kind of partying in Europe or having a lavish life, drinking, social.

It doesn't feel like there's anything of substance there,

I really like in terms of classic literature...Jack Kerouac On The Road has a special place in my heart because the road trip, the classic American road trip.
