Explores one of the most important lessons I learned during my year in space: human connection is not something you find, its something you build SCOTT KELLY

When we vibe with other people, it fuels our happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As face-to-face interaction gives way to digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI and the world becomes more polarised, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing.

To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger and longer bonds, Adam Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eyeopening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly and closeness doesn’t always take time.

Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to 78 marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convenor. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities.

Vibe will change how you interact with people. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better – and help others get better too.
