Tallking to strangers and being more social need not be so scary of exhausting.
Maggie Penman
Nick Epley was commuting to work at the University of Chicago when he looked across the train and wondered: Why are all these people sitting elbow to elbow ignoring each other?
Epley, a professor of behavioral science, thought about how very lonely people are, and he challenged himself to strike up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. It changed his life - and led him to write the book “A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health and Connection.”
After reading it, I decided to try the experiment myself.
