James H. Fowler je známy svojim priekopníckym výskumom v oblasti sociálnych sietí a ich vplyvu na ľudské správanie. Jeho práca skúma, ako sa vplyvy šíria v našich komunitách a ako táto dynamika formuje naše rozhodnutia. Fowler sa zameriava na vedecké pochopenie týchto zložitých interakcií, ktoré sa odohrávajú naprieč rôznymi spoločenskými systémami. Jeho výskum osvetľuje základné mechanizmy, ktoré ovplyvňujú ľudské väzby a kolektívne správanie.
The Surprising Power Of Our Social Networks And How They Shape Our Lives
Renowned scientists Christakis and Fowler present compelling evidence for our profound influence on one another's tastes, health, wealth, happiness, beliefs, even weight, as they explain how social networks form and how they operate.
Celebrated scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain the amazing power of social networks and our profound influence on one another's lives. Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Drs. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide. In CONNECTED, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, CONNECTED overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm-that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.
