Show Notes:
There are a couple of places in this episode that sound different from the rest. This is because we ended up recording in two sessions and then cutting some of our later conversation into places earlier in the episode where they made more sense. The transitions are not perfect, but we hope they are not too jarring.
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
Abstract of Mehrabian & Ferris' 1967 article
Communication is 93% Nonverbal: An Urban Legend Proliferates
TL; DR: Essentially, the results of a 1967 study by Dr. Mehrabian at UCLA has been oversimplified and misrepresented in later articles, textbooks, and media. The study focused on communication of emotions and feelings, and was not in any way stating that word choice only conveys 7% of a message’s meaning.

Results of this 2019 study suggest that the love languages in Chapman’s book match human behaviors used to maintain relationships.
