This week, we talk with the author of a new book about playing well with others. We also look at how to find your business super powers and learn from other trail blazers on their pivots. Find us wherever you get your podcasts - follow us an apple podcast, spotifi or wherever you're listening.
Eric Barker is not a people person. “Getting me to write a relationship book,” he says, “is like asking Godzilla to improve the infrastructure in your city.” But he did it anyway. Guided by leading social psychologists, Eric went on a journey to understand what he was getting wrong about relationships — and what he could do to turn things around. The result is “Plays Well With Others,” a guide to friendship, intimacy, loneliness, and belonging that our curator Daniel Pink says will “revitalize your life.”
