About this episode

<p>Secrets from the massively popular Stanford business school course on interpersonal hygiene.</p> <p>Carole Robin and David Bradford taught the most popular elective course at the Stanford Graduate School of Business for a combined total of 75 years. Officially, the name of the course is Interpersonal Dynamics, but everybody calls it "Touchy-Feely." Together they have written the new book, <a href= "https://connectandrelate.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><em>Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues</em></a>.</p> <p>We dive into the six hallmarks of what they call "exceptional relationships," how to be honest and vulnerable without overdoing it, why the questions "how am I feeling?" and "how are you feeling?" are central to improving our communication, the inevitability of risk when you set out to deepen a relationship, and why meditation is helpful in all of this.</p> <p>This episode originally aired in 2021.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Follow Dan on social:</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="https://bit.ly/3FOA84J" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>TikTok</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Subscribe to our</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>YouTube Channel</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Our favorite playlists on:</strong> <a href= "https://spoti.fi/3Qa8kMT" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>Anxiety</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="https://spoti.fi/3MjtMxF" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sleep</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="https://spoti.fi/3QvyA5J" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>Relationships</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <a href="https://spoti.fi/3QxZASc" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><strong>Most Popular Episodes</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Additional Resources: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://brenebrown.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Brené Brown</a></li> <li><a href="https://connectandrelate.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">https://connectandrelate.com/</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>
