Decoding the Patterns of Human Connection
Book • 2020
In 'Social Chemistry,' Marissa King examines the complex ways humans network with each other.
The book introduces three distinct styles of networking: Expansionists, who grow their networks by increasing individual ties; Brokers, who connect distinct networks; and Conveners, who strengthen ties among others within the same network.
King blends large-scale research with personal anecdotes and stories from well-known figures to illustrate the benefits and drawbacks of each style.
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own networking style to build more meaningful and productive relationships, and it provides practical advice on how to do so effectively.
