Think Better Speaker Series: Living a Little More Social

“Living a Little More Social: The Unexpected Power of Choosing to Connect”
There's a fundamental paradox at the core of human life: we are highly social creatures who are made happier and healthier by connecting with other people, yet we often avoid social connection even when it would improve our lives.

This Think Better talk will explain our mistaken beliefs, where they come from, and how to overcome them.

[UPDATE] I am unable to attend in person but a fellow InterNations member, Anne Grason, will be there. Use this event page or private messages to communicate with her when you arrive at the venue.
