Critics Review
“I had the great fortune of participating in a Skip the Small Talk in-person event a couple of years ago. Like many participants, I found the carefully curated experience of vulnerable sharing with strangers to be invigorating and deeply meaningful. I remember wishing that the questions that served as prompts that could have been made available for later use with my friends, family, students, colleagues, and others. My wish has come true! This remarkable deck is a powerful tool for social connection and, indeed, social transformation. Close relationships will become closer. Strangers will become friends. Greater self-discovery is guaranteed. The short instruction booklet should be required reading even without the card deck. Life is short, let’s skip the small talk!”
—Matthew T. Lee, PhD; Professor, Baylor University; Research Associate, Harvard University
“Full of meaningful and surprising questions, this is the perfect deck to turn strangers into friends!”
—Casper ter Kuile, Author of The Power of Ritual
“If you’re tired of talking about the weather and want to go straight to the heart of human connection, Skip the Small Talk is for you.”
—Daniel Gilbert, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
“Skip the Small Talk is a creative and playful way to deepen our understanding and connection to others, and perhaps more importantly, to ourselves.”
—Peg Baim, MS, ANP-BC, Director, Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) Program, Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine
