Most of us want more (and better) social interactions, but being more social means more energy.

Most of us want more (and better) social interactions, but being more social means more energy. Sometimes it’s easier to just stay home or not talk to someone, even though we KNOW connecting with other people is the best thing for our health and happiness. But what if you knew you’d be liked, have a good time, and a meaningful conversation?
My guest today is Dr. Nicholas Epley, one of the most respected behavioral scientists in the world. He's a professor at the University of Chicago, the author of the phenomenal new book A Little More Social, and his research has changed the scientific community.
Whether you want to know the one tool that will make you more likeable, how to go from small talk to a meaningful conversation in two questions, why people are getting so bad at asking follow up questions on dates, or why you’re probably not an introvert even if you REALLY think you are, we get into it.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
• The #1 thing people actually judge you on and how it removes the fear of social situations
• The surprising data that challenges everything you believe about your social battery
• How to organically start a meaningful conversation with two questions
• Why being an introvert might just be a story you're telling yourself
