Books like The village effect by Susan Pinker
In her book, Susan Pinker examines why personal interactions—from childhood development to business negotiations—are essential for building trust and forging lasting bonds. Drawing on research in social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and communication studies, she explains how humans have evolved sophisticated nonverbal cues and eye contact to detect trustworthiness and betrayal. Pinker discusses the role of women as catalysts of social change and evaluates whether these mechanisms hold in the digital age. Through engaging examples and up‑to‑date scientific findings, the book offers insight into the interpersonal dynamics that govern our society.
