Why We Click

"Kate Murphy delves into the reasons we connect with some people and don't with others. She casts a wide net into the research of how and why we feel synchrony-why we click-with certain people, animals, and even plants and television characters. Murphy's performance is approachable, even chatty, allowing the listener to curl up and take in the flow of stories and accessible science. People who are all doing the same thing at the same time-think rowing, dancing, or marching-often forge a deeper connection with each other. But a bad apple in the workplace really can poison the whole barrel. Murphy also joins the chorus of those concerned about the epidemic of loneliness and the echo chamber of social media. Murphy's words are well served by her genial tone and gentle enthusiasm."
