Dr. Deborah Tannen Biography

Language. Conversation. Relationships. Everything we do, at work and at home, is done through talk. No one understands this better than linguist Deborah Tannen. As author of You Just Don’t Understand, the international bestseller that perched upon The New York Times list for almost four years, Tannen has unearthed the underlying dynamics of communication.

In her new book, a New York TimesYou’re Wearing THAT? Mothers and Daughters in Conversation, Tannen listens in on mother-adult daughter communication, asking why these relationships are so fraught and what daughters and mothers can do to improve their conversations and relationships.

Her book Talking from 9 to 5: Women and Men at Work, a New York Times business bestseller, does for the workplace what her revolutionary book did for women and men talking at home.

Tannen has written for, and been featured in, The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, People, The Washington Post, Time, and The Harvard Business Review. She has appeared on many television and radio shows including 20/20, CBS News, Oprah, Good Morning America, as well as on CNN and NPR.

Providing a unique perspective, pitch perfect examples, and well-honed analysis, Tannen offers a rare combination of scientific insight and a humorous presentation that will change forever the way we approach conversations and explore the role of talk in human relationships.
