We Need to Talk

‘Love doesn’t fail because people stop caring. It fails because people stop feeling seen’ WE NEED TO TALK offers up a new definition of intimacy: not just physical or emotional closeness, but the ongoing act of making space for someone else to exist fully. Most of us don't know how to truly hold space for others, we were taught to react, solve and interrupt. Paul believes being present is a radical and learnable practice. And that it’s the key to repairing fractured relationships, deepening connection and repairing the internal disconnection so many of us carry. The simple framework Paul offers helps us, in turn, to improve all relationships with friends, family and partners. Rooted in neuroscience and supported by the data behind Paul’s #1 podcast We Need to Talk and filled with real life stories, this book is for anyone who wants to feel more seen – and to help others feel the same. 'Paul is a true relationship expert - he brilliantly demystifies the secrets to fostering long-lasting connections.' - DR TARA SWART Published by FlightStory Books. © Paul Brunson 2027 (P) Penguin Audio 2027
