Social Wealth: How to Build Extraordinary Relationships By Transforming the Way We Live, Love, Lead and Network

Some people seem to build rich, rewarding lives almost effortlessly, with quick career progress, lasting love, loyal friends and easy access to opportunity. This self-help guide argues that the common thread is what the author calls social wealth, the quality of our connections with others. Drawing on research into human behaviour, it sets out a way of thinking and a set of learnable skills covering communication, persuasion, leadership, charisma and emotional intelligence. Readers are encouraged to become more open, authentic and generous, and to create genuine connection and a sense of belonging. The book ends by helping readers shape a practical social media plan for their personal and professional lives, supported by a set of free tools.
