Click: The Magic of Instant Connections by Ori Brafman

3.0

The book tries to figure out why and/or how people "click". But something just didn't click. Many people describe this as a Gladwell-like book. Maybe more described a Gladwell-light book. Reading Gladwell, I feel like I'm onto something. Reading Brafman ... I feel like something is just beyond the corner of my eye.

I really do wish they spent more time on the hostage negotiator ... who I felt had the most fascinating story.

I do think the authors missed an important part of clicking .. the person(s) has to have the desire to click. My latest theory on connections between people ... friendships are when two people are searching for commonalities while non-friendships are when two people are seeking for differences between them. With any two people, there are lots of commonalities and differences. And it's really our choice which way to go.

It's more of a 3.5 star book.
