Description
The Human Network: How We're Connected and Why It Matters By Matthew O. Jackson, Atlantic Books Our relationships in school, university, work and society have a profound impact on our lives, extending far beyond the present moment. Professor Matthew Jackson's groundbreaking research reveals how understanding these networks can boost happiness, success and influence. By applying concepts from economics, mathematics, sociology and anthropology, The Human Network offers a bold new framework for understanding human interaction. From the implications of popularity in school to the science behind viral marketing, this book presents counter-intuitive ideas that will challenge your perspective on social connections. Drawing on real-world examples, Jackson shows how the science of networks can help us navigate complex issues like racism and the spread of disease. A 'big ideas' book that no one can afford to miss, The Human Network is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the power of human relationships.
