Why Everything You Know About Relationships is (Mostly) Wrong | Eric Barker | Talks at Google

Описание: Bestselling author Eric Barker joins up to discuss his new book "Plays Well with Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships is (Mostly) Wrong" – a smart, surprising, and entertaining guide to help build better friendships, reignite love, and get closer to others, whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, socially adept or socially anxious.

Eric draws on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, he explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends. Leveraging the best evidence available—free of platitudes or magical thinking—Eric analyzes multiple sides of an issue before rendering his verdict. What he’s uncovered is surprising, counterintuitive, and timely—and will change the way you interact in the world and with those around you just when you need it most.
