Why We Click

Why do you naturally connect with some individuals while others inexplicably repel you? Do people emit positive or negative energy? Can we truly gauge the atmosphere in a room? Are undesirable habits transmissible? The fascinating science of why we "click" with others and how this strong influence shapes our interactions is the focus of "Why We Click." Bestselling author Kate Murphy delves into the science underpinning this seemingly magical experience that helps us establish harmony and connection with those around us. Murphy uncovers the reasons and methods behind our tendencies to mirror each other's movements, posture, and gestures, as well as synchronize our heart rates, blood pressure, pupil responses, brain activity, and hormonal levels. This powerful capability highlights that emotions, moods, and behaviors can be contagious, significantly affecting our health and wellbeing, for better or worse. In this compelling book, uncover the remarkable power of 'interpersonal synchrony' and learn its incredible benefits, so you can effectively nurture this occurrence when beneficial and 'desynchronize' when it's not advantageous.
