What if everything you know about relationships is wrong?

The connections we form in business & life can be good or bad, powerful or weak, healthy or harmful, long-lasting or brief. While searching for ways to be more attractive and sticky, we fall into traps that leave us static and stuck.

Despite the paramount importance of relationships in our lives, there is a surprising lack of formal education on how to cultivate and sustain them. Our learning comes from observing others, relying on antiquated and exaggerated tactics, and employing strategies repeatedly shown to be ineffective. This flawed approach stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of how our brains form relationships. We often fail to discern between relationships that genuinely benefit us and those that hold us back.
