GPB Host Celeste Headlee Coming to Classic City for Conversation

Georgia Public Broadcasting's Celeste Headlee is coming to Athens next week. The host of “On Second Thought” is discussing the lost art of conversation, the topic of her new book “We need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter.” Headlee says she appreciates Athens is like a second home. The book provides practical tips to improve conversational skills.

“This book isn’t necessarily from me from a position of superiority saying I know all these things I’m going to tell you how to do this, it’s more look, we all have this problem and it’s time for us to become aware of the fact that we’re not listening to one another,” Headlee said. “we’re not actually having in-depth conversations with one another and that’s going to cause even further polarization than we have right now.

The event is Friday, October 6th at 7 pm. It is free and open to the public.
