Talk2MorePeople is a playful how-to guide on meeting people. Inside, you’ll learn practical steps to uncover the abundant beauty and life-changing potential of face-to-face conversations. Featuring an introduction to mindfulness and an abundance of insights into human connection, Talk2MorePeople provides countless resources to help you to look up from your smartphone and start and maintain conversations with new people.

Included in these resources is a step-by-step exploration of the LOOKUP Process for Meeting People, developed over the course of 365 days, when author Tony Esteves pursued the Talk2MorePeople Project to meet at least one stranger a day for a full year. (Hint: He met more than 550 new people and in the process, he explored new communities, transformed his mental health, and made many unexpected connections that would change his life forever. Talking to a stranger even led Tony to join the circus. It’s why he has a mirror suit!)
