The Book Of Conversations
Our App “Open Up” is based on this book project, initiated by Jason Schragger and Mark Carolan.
When was the last time you had a great conversation?
A conversation that came out of the blue, that was intriguing and interesting. A conversation where you found out so much more about your friends and so much more about yourself.
The Book of Conversations came to life because we are simply not as good at talking as we used to be. Too often we just trade information. What we did, what we bought, where we went or what we did at work. We wanted to create a book that can be explored by you and your friends, something that leads to hours of enjoyment, thought, laughter and self-reflection. The more we talk, the more we truly make proper connections.
This book is a collection of questions, each one a conversation starter that provides the intrigue to explore and discover what lies beneath. Some questions are deep, some trivial and some you will never forget.
However, just words were not enough. Images provoke people in ways that words sometimes can’t. So we approached some of the most creative people in the world and invited them to participate. 120 artists, graphic designers, creative directors, art directors, photographers, directors, illustrators and animators – from 48 locations in 24 countries – were each given a question. Their task was to provoke this question with an image. The image could make the reader cry, shout, laugh or think. But most importantly, it should get them to talk.
It is now time for all of us to bring back the art of conversation to a world that needs it more than ever.
Let the discussion begin.
