The Laws Of Connection - with David Robson

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson   I'm a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost.   I'm delighted to welcome back to the show one of my favourite guests, David Robson who previously joined me back in February last year after I had read his book The Expectation Effect.   I've just finished reading his latest book and I think you'll find our conversation about it today both interesting and informative.   The book is called The Laws Of Connection and is really a play book for how we can build deeper and more meaningful relationships with the people around us, and also some of the more unexpected benefits from doing so.   David also unpacks some of the research that shows how we may be better at socialising than we may think, talking about phenomena such as the Liking Gap.   Of course, I highly recommend you have a read of the book itself which is out this week, but in this podcast we get into several of the 13 strategies and learn many new things:   how asking for help benefits you and the person you're asking how to express gratitude and pay compliments effectively and why a strong social network even improves our ability to fight off illness.   I think you're going to enjoy this one, so get ready for a bit of a boost!   The book is available on Amazon and all good book stores.   Read more about David on his website here: https://davidrobson.me
