The Office: How to Be Likeable

from Pop DNA Hosted by Rhonda Watts and Erin O'Loughlin

“Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.” –Michael Scott Likeability plays a huge role in how characters on The Office relate to one another, and how we as the audience perceive them. Discuss! This episode also features our second Finer Things Club meeting, in which we talk about the novel The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende and Rhonda learns how effective her SEO was in her blog post about it. Further Reading: Isabel Allende's interview with the LA Times The science behind our need to be liked from American Psychological Association How wanting to be liked gets you rejected from Psychology Today Rhonda's blog post about all the books mentioned on The Office
