Summary:
You know the feeling. You meet someone new-at a party or at work-and you just hit it off. There can be an instant sense of camaraderie.
In a word, you “click.”
Through the bestselling authors of Sway, Click is a remarkable psychological investigation from the forces behind what makes us click with certain people, or become fully immersed in whatever activity or situation we’re involved in.
From two co-workers who fall head over heels for each other while out to dinner about Click: The Forces Behind HOW EXACTLY WE Fully Engage with People, Work, and Everything We Do and so are married per month later on (and fifteen years later on remain just as in love), to a team of scientists who changed the globe using the magic of their invention, most of these maximum encounters, when our senses are completely focused on the moment, are a thing that individuals-and companies-strive to achieve. After all, when you’re in the “zone,” you’re happier and more successful. Exactly why is it that people click in certain situations and with certain people, but not with others? Can this sort of magical connection be consciously encouraged? Is there a way to create such maximum experiences, whether on the day or in your job?
Regarding to Ori and Rom Brafman, there is certainly.
In a robust, story-driven narrative that weaves together cutting-edge research in psychology and sociology, the Brafmans explore what this means to “click”: the normal factors present when our brain and senses are fully involved. They recognize five “accelerators” that increase the likelihood of most of these magic connections inside our work and human relationships.
From actors vying for a job on a popular TV series to cops negotiating with hostage takers, we understand how one can foster a host where we can click with someone else and shape our thinking, behavior, and emotions.
A fascinating journey into how we engage with the world all around us, Click will transform our thinking about those moments when we are in the area and everything appears to fall into place.
