Pilgrimage took Annie Leibovitz to places that she could explore with no agenda. She wasn’t on assignment. She chose the subjects simply because they meant something to her. The first place was Emily Dickinson’s house in Amherst, Massachusetts, which Leibovitz visited with a small digital camera. A few months later, she went with her three young children to Niagara Falls. “That’s when I started making lists,” she says.

A groundbreaking book about how being just a little bit better at conversation canhave a profound impact on our relationships in work and life—from a celebratedHarvard Business Schoolprofessorand leading experton the psychology ofconversationWe know we struggle with difficult conversations, but we’re often not very good at the easy ones, either.

We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn wh
