'Social Chemistry is a fascinating look at the particulars of impactful networks. Whether you take naturally to networking or think yourself allergic to it, there is practical information here that can help you form more productive relationships, and make better use of those you already have.' - David Epstein, bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene


Conventional wisdom would have us believe that it is the size of our network that matters. We're told to mix, mingle, and connect as much as possible. And, frequently, we worry that we don't know enough people; that other people have far bigger networks than we do.

But social science research suggests otherwise.

The quality of our relationships has a far greater impact on our personal and professional lives than the number of them. After all, our relationships with friends, family, co-workers, neighbours and collaborators are by far our greatest asset - so why are we still leaving them to chance?

In this ground-breaking book, Marissa King, Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Yale, explains the strategic ways in which we can alter our relationships for the better. She shows us how we can harness the power of our networks in our work and personal lives, and ultimately how we can build happier, more fulfilling lives for ourselves.
