Get Turnt.
This week in The New York Times, one writer makes a case for killing off small talk. Rather than start conversations chatting about things like the weather, they posit, why not start with bigger issues right from the jump, things like “our weightiest beliefs and most potent fears” or “questions that reveal who we are and where we want to go?”
It’s a bold move, and one most folks aren’t likely to go along with right away. But we do agree with them on one point, and that’s about how we should be asking each other where we want to go. Well, where do you want to go? Not sure? We have a few suggestions.
