Why We Click

'From start to finish, Why We Click dives deep into how we relate, communicate, and sync our behavior in fascinating and perplexing ways. It’s a captivating journey through the science behind the powerful, yet invisible forces that synchronize human behavior.'

Danny Meyer, author of Setting the Table

'Why We Click is popular science at its best. Kate Murphy takes a universal yet mysterious experience—our sense of connection with others—and reveals the surprising science that explains it. Through vivid stories and carefully-conducted research, Murphy transforms an experience that once felt mysterious and magical into something that is perfectly understandable. You’ll end this book feeling like you’ve gotten a new pair of crystal-clear glasses to see your social world through. It’s engaging, insightful, and hard to put down!'

Nicholas Epley, Professor of Behavioural Science, and author of Mindwise and A Little More Social

'Why We Click is a searching and fascinating exploration of the up-and-coming science of human connection. Kate Murphy describes, in lucid terms, not only the foundation of the seemingly effortless link between people, but also the devastating consequences of its absence – all too relevant in a world where digital virtualities are draining real-life interaction from our lives'

Thomas Lewis, psychiatrist, adjunct professor at UCSF and author of A General Theory of Love
