Eric Barker on Playing Well With Others
Master the art of social connection
What you'll learn: Eric Barker on Playing Well With Others — a 30-minute personal development course on Sonder.courses.
The only thing consistent about most relationship advice is its inconsistency. Should birds of a feather flock together, or do opposites attract? Should we hold out for love at first sight or not judge a book by its cover? In Plays Well With Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong, Eric Barker challenges readers to disregard this kind of vague, unhelpful advice. Instead, he advocates for examining data and research to draw solid conclusions. In this course, we’ll break down eight big ideas from Barker’s book, uncovering how to understand people better, improve friendships, reignite romance, and escape loneliness.
