About the Book

NOW WITH FAQS EXCLUSIVE TO THE PAPERBACK There is one key factor affecting health and long life that is more important than any other: social connection. When we form meaningful bonds with others, our wounds heal faster, our blood pressure drops and we are less likely to have Alzheimer's, heart attacks or strokes. We perform better on tests of mental focus, memory and problem solving. Strong social connection can even fuel creativity, increase our financial stability and enhance our work productivity. But making friends can also be daunting. In The Laws of Connection, David Robson unpacks the science behind this effect and introduces us to simple strategies to promote instant rapport and sustain lifelong, meaningful relationships.

Review :
In this rigorous and clearly written blend of research and practical tips, Robson makes the case that social contact is not just a nice-to-have in life, it is essential for our survival. The book offers reassurance to those who do not consider themselves to be a "people person". . . Full of wisdom and practical suggestions, the book is packed with useful information I had not read before In a world where we're inundated with articles telling us how to optimise our lives, The Laws of Connection is packed with practical, achievable and science-backed tips to help enhance our social worlds Science writer David Robson has encouraging news for those who struggle to create meaningful bonds with others. The book's tone is upbeat [and] his claims are rooted in recent studies in psychology and neuroscience The Laws of Connection is a beautiful trip through the science of human belonging, it is also profoundly useful for everyone and not just those who consider themselves lacking in social connection. David's book is both brilliantly fascinating and hugely recommended This fascinating book will genuinely make you a better friend and colleague - and could even improve your social life. David Robson seamlessly weaves in interesting anecdotes and powerful take homes, which will help the loudest extrovert or quietest introvert build a better social world. A vital read for anyone who wants to get along with others in an ever-polarised world A masterful distillation of the latest research into the benefits of sociality. Robson unveils a series of practical, science-backed tips for forming and maintaining healthy relationships of all kinds; tips that will not just extend but possibly even save your life. It's a roadmap to overcoming social timidity and a science-based cure for misanthropy David Robson is one of my favorite science writers. He strikes the perfect balance between scientific accuracy, engaging storytelling and practical relevance. Whether you want to get better at small talk or at staying close to the important people in your life, this book provides tangible, scientifically vetted solutions Robson has distilled a vast amount of high-quality research into an engaging manual on what makes or breaks meaningful social connections. I was astonished at how many long-held assumptions we hold that are just plain wrong. In an era of increasing social isolation, The Laws of Connection is a necessary and timely book The Laws of Connection is the perfect antidote to modern-day isolation. With his trademark brilliance and nuance, David Robson offers a hopeful and entertaining take on why so many of us feel like islands in a sea of people and provides practical, evidenced-backed strategies for creating bridges, connecting to others, and living more socially fulfilled lives Praise for The Expectation Effect: 'This book is entertaining, eye-opening, extremely useful and best of all, evidence-based
