In CONNECTED, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, CONNECTED overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm-that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.

Recenzii
"Christakis
and
Fowler
have
writtenthebook
on
the
exciting
new
science
of
social
networks.
With
passion
and
precision,
these
two
internationally
renowned
scientists
expose
the
invisible
webs
that
connect
each
of
us
to
the
other,
and
in
so
doing
cast
our
lives
here
together
in
an
astonishing
new
light.
We
think
we
are
individuals
who
control
our
own
fates,
but
as
Christakis
and
Fowler
demonstrate,
we
are
merely
cells
in
the
nervous
system
of
a
much
greater
beast.
If
someone
you
barely
know
reads
CONNECTED,
it
could
change
your
life
forever.
How?
Read
it
yourself
and
find
out."--
