Ping

Packed with unexpected insights and practical advice, this is the guide we need to prevent miscommunications and foster genuine connections. Adam Grant, the bestselling author of "Think Again," endorses it. Andrew Brodsky presents an essential manual on when and how to effectively use virtual communication tools—from emails and video calls to instant messaging. Brodsky illustrates that sometimes meetings could be replaced with emails, or emails with voice memos, emphasizing that turning off your camera can occasionally be advantageous. Many individuals neglect thoughtful virtual communication strategies, resulting in feelings of isolation, neglect, and burnout. "Ping" distills Brodsky’s advanced social science research on remote communication, offering insights on how to interact productively and authentically, build relationships from afar, establish impactful online interactions, and enhance inclusivity while minimizing conflicts. Featuring engaging anecdotes and interviews with top business leaders, "Ping" serves as the ultimate playbook for navigating communication across all workplace settings, from in-person to remote. Jake Knapp, co-founder of Google Meet and bestselling author of "Sprint," calls it a must-read for everyone engaged in online communication.
