【今日美國與出版者周刊雙暢榜】 人非孤島？作者深入古老格言，以科學揭示隱於傳統人際關係智慧的背後真理。他揉合精彩敘事和幽默筆鋒，闡明為何觀點截然不同的人，反而能成為最親密可靠的朋友。 In Plays Well With Others, Eric Barker dives into these questions, drawing on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, Barker explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends. Leveraging the best evidence available—free of platitudes or magical thinking—Barker analyzes multiple sides of an issue before rendering his verdict. What he’s uncovered is surprising, counterintuitive, and timely—and will change the way you interact in the world and with those around you just when you need it most.
