Understanding Social Strategies

There are three primary social strategies explored: givers, getters, and those who maintain a balance between the two. While individuals who focus solely on getting may see short-term success, this approach often leads to long-term dissatisfaction and failure. In contrast, givers might initially struggle but also find themselves underperforming over time. The most fruitful strategy is maintaining a balance between giving and getting, which can foster stronger relationships and a sense of belonging while creating exponential benefits in the long run.
