You know the feeling. You meet someone new--at a party or at
work--and you just hit it off. There is an instant sense of
camaraderie.
In a word, you "click."
From the bestselling authors of "Sway, ""Click "is a fascinating
psychological investigation of 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 and are married a month later (and fifteen years
later remain just as in love), to a team of scientists who changed
the world with the magic of their invention, these kinds of peak
experiences, when our senses are completely focused on the moment,
are something that individuals--and companies--strive to achieve.
After all, when you're in the "zone," you're happier and more
productive. Why is it that we click in certain situations and with
certain people, but not with others? Can this kind of magical
connection be consciously encouraged? Is there a way to create such
peak experiences, whether on a date or in your job?
According to Ori and Rom Brafman, there is." "
In a powerful, story-driven narrative that weaves together
cutting-edge research in psychology and sociology, the Brafmans
explore what it means to "click" the common factors present when
our brain and senses are fully engaged. They identify five
"accelerators" that increase the likelihood of these kinds of magic
connections in our work and relationships.
From actors vying for a role on a popular TV series to police
officers negotiating with hostage takers, we learn how one can
foster an environment where we can click with another person and
shape our thinking, behavior, and emotions.
A fascinating journey into how we engage with the world around us,
"Click "will transform our thinking about those moments when we are
in the zone and everything seems to fall into place.
