Social Psychologist Nicholas Epley, "A Little More Social"

There is a paradox at the core of human life. We are a highly social species, yet we so often choose to be unsocial. We avoid talking to the stranger who sits next to us. We struggle to move beyond small talk with an acquaintance. We are reluctant to express our gratitude to people we appreciate. University of Chicago psychologist Nicholas Epley has spent his career studying the mental and physical health benefits of a more social life. In “A Little More Social,” Epley demonstrates how small moments of connection have an outsized impact on the most important parts of our lives.
