Celebrated scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain the amazing power of social networks and our profound influence on one another's lives. 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 Dr. 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 more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.

This incredible resource is a guide to facilitating powerful activities to create more connected and more engaged teams.

Kristina Kaine invites the reader into the riches of becoming a participant-observer in the life of soul and spirit. Her book goes beyond describing "the way it is" and encourages the reader to discover how the gaps in meaning that we all experience are caused by a lack of contact with the inner life. Nevertheless, this is not a book of meditative practices that one does in the confines of one's room, only to find that such practices don't seem to measure up to the requirements of real life. Rather, her book helps us sense the inner qualitative nature of subjective experiences at the center of our busy and practical lives--though they frequently go unnoticed. By gaining an abiding interest in the rich texture of inner life, one begins to notice that something--some presence like wisdom--illuminates that inner life, individualizing it so that one feels personally, though not egoistically, connected with the inner mysteries. This more permanent core of our being gives us our sense of destiny and purpose in life, directing us toward a more meaningful future. I Connecting and the clear practices suggested help the reader make a shift toward being more present, more available, and more open. "Kristina Kaine has distilled from the profound wisdom of masters and of her own considerable experience a guidebook of immense value in pursuing the pearl of great price, the name that no one knows except the one who receives it, the I Am." Every human soul stands in need of this name, and our world cries out for the ennoblement of those who make this quest." --Edward Reaugh Smith, author, The Burning Bush and The Soul's Long Journey "This book is amazing It has clarified so much for me that I have been struggling to comprehend. Her simple and clear way of describing concepts and practices has allowed me to put many of them into immediate practice in my life. This book is essential reading." --Amanda Gore, motivational speaker and author, You Can Be Happy: The Essential Guide to a Healthy Body, Mind and Soul "Kristina Kaine has the marvelous ability to express clearly and concisely the inner human mystery in a most practical and experiential way. I recommend her book to anyone with a sincere desire to explore and expand their own soul." --Andrew Flaxman, founder, Educate Yourself for Tomorrow
