We hear it all the time; it’s good to talk, we should talk more, lets chat. But why? Why should we talk? Why is good conversation good for us?
As a wise man, George Bernard Shaw once said, ‘The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.’
It’s true we’re sharing information, opinions, questioning, swapping ideas, getting insights into the other person. But good conversation can give us so much more than just the superficial passing of details. It’s not about endless chatter, conversation demands listening and talking in equal parts.
Conversation is about a basic human need to be understood and to understand. It gives us a sense of self, and confidence. It is an ultimate human activity, that brings us into direct contact with people in all their complexities and vulnerabilities.
Tricky topics
Sometimes it can be difficult to start a conversation, especially when it’s been a while since you’ve really talked. Outside of the weather, or how was your day, many of us can feel awkward trying to spark up deep and meaningful chats with our loved ones. We can live together, see each other every day and still feel apart because we don’t talk, talk talk.
Conversation is our best remedy for loneliness and feeling alienated. Our heads can run away with themselves when we’re not talking or listening. They have a tendency to misinterpret silence and invent scenarios in our minds. That can make us feel downright rotten about life.
C’mon C’mon get happy
So, we want to talk and have that special connection but don’t know where to start. Our Talking Point Cards are just that. Starting points. Some are fun and lightweight, others go deeper. All encourage conversation, which builds relationships, which makes us happy.
Deep meaningful conversation is the lifeblood of relationships. When conversation is vibrant so is the relationship, and not just romantic ones. Good meaningful conversation can provide happiness in every scenario, we can feel bonded and connected in a deep way. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Is there anyone who hasn’t wished they could communicate better?
How much better would life be if you had a better relationship with your spouse? With your children? With your parents? With your friends?
The whole idea behind Talking Point Cards is to strengthen real relationships in a digital world. We hate that our time and attention is increasingly consumed by technology which is replacing real, genuine human relationships.
Your family connections and friendships shouldn’t suffer because TV, social media and online games are replacing our face-to-facetime! That’s why our founder, Ben, originally created Talking Point Cards.

Our Story
Talking Point Cards started in 2015 when founder Ben Jones asked the question: “What is happening to our relationships?”
It seemed that our time was increasingly consumed by technology which had replaced real, genuine human relationships.
His solution to this problem was to reclaim family time from TV, Social Media & Online Games with resources so engaging& useful that everyone would want to unplug to enjoy some quality time& real conversation with friends & family. This is where the idea for Talking Point Cards was born.
The Real-Life Revolution
As Talking Point Cards grew, we noticed that communication was just one area which was suffering from the all-consuming impact of technology.
In response to our customer feedback, we expanded our focus to include physical activity, screen-free entertainment, household management, self-care and mental health products - all to get people of all ages away from the screen and living their happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling life possible.
Our goal is to build a Real-Life Revolution; a worldwide community to offer positive support and products about promoting real relationships and healthy lifestyles in a digital world! This mission pervades everything we do.
