The Power of Strangers: The Benefits of Connecting in a Suspicious World

What if, instead of averting your eyes in the elevator, you said, “Hello”? In The Power of Strangers, journalist Joe Keohane explores what happens when we reach out to the people around us, instead of simply minding our business or assuming they are dangerous. At a time when loneliness has reached epidemic proportions around the globe, Keohane suggests a path forward, one that fosters connection, empathy, happiness and even brain health. It’s a model that every Social Capital leader can embrace.
