"Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks"

"Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks" by Nicholas A. Christakis explores how our social relationships influence our behaviors, emotions, and health. The book explains that social networks are more than just friendships—they shape how ideas, emotions, and even diseases spread. Our connections can impact our lives in ways we often aren’t aware of, creating a ripple effect through communities. By understanding these networks, we can better grasp how social influence works and harness it to promote positive change, health, and well-being on both individual and societal levels.
