About the Book:
Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Drs. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide.
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 much more. It will change the way that we think about all aspects of our lives.

I believe in the LAW OF ATTRACTION, how we attract what we need in our lives. It would be interesting to read this, to see if this concurs with or disputes that thought. Please count me in! I would love to read this.

I'd like to win because I work with social media, and the connections between people are facilitated by these online connections. I'd like to delve into how people connect, and learn how the internet influences and affects these connections. It's a fascinating field, and one I definitely wish I knew more about.
