Improve Your Social Skills

Your responses to other people and their responses to you have a far-reaching biological influence, sending out cascades of hormones that monitor everything from your heart to your immune system. One way to think of this is that positive relationships affect our bodies like vitamins, while bad relationships affect us like poison. You can catch another person's feelings in the manner in which you catch a cold, and the outcome of isolation or relentless social stress can actually be life-shortening. Improve Your Social Skills will teach you how to provide your body with positive social "vitamins" while avoiding "poisons" in social interactions.

Is there a way that you can raise your child to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing relationship? How can teachers and business leaders inspire the best in people they teach and lead? How can groups separated by hatred and prejudice come to live together in harmony?
