Bestseller according to USA Today and Publishers Weekly
The author of the book "Barking Up the Wrong Tree" presents a remedy for loneliness and emotional detachment: a witty, engaging, sprinkled with unexpected scientific facts guide that will help strengthen friendships, revive love, and improve closer relationships with people regardless of your level of social adaptation and whether you are an extrovert or an introvert.
* Can you judge a book by its cover?
* Is a friend really known in trouble?
* Does love really conquer all?
Eric Barker explores these well-known theses, trying to confirm or refute the truthfulness of common beliefs about human relationships using science. Skillfully combining humor and engaging storytelling, he tells the story of how an experienced con artist spent twenty years building a career as a professional footballer, what negotiations about hostages and family quarrels have in common, and why people with diametrically opposed views sometimes become the closest and most reliable friends.
From the book you will learn:
* What two factors are necessary for true friendship and where Dale Carnegie was wrong
* How love develops, what breathes new life into it, and what helps to keep it for many years
* How to help a loved one change for the better: an ethical and effective way
* What benefits social networks can bring to relationships
* How to cure loneliness and why traditional advice doesn't help
This is far from a complete list of useful information. In the pages of the book, you will find wonderful stories about the greatest female detective, the most successful liar in human history, a brilliant horse, a thief-hermit, the pitfalls of having too good a memory, and the placebo effect. Using the best available evidence - no banalities or conjectures - Barker examines the problem from different angles before reaching a final verdict. His discoveries are unexpected, paradoxical, and very timely: they will help change your relationships with the world and the people around you at the very moment when you need it most.
