Overall, I enjoyed it. I like the inclusion of specific research studies but thought that some of the case studies went on a bit longer than necessary. It was written in pop-psychology style which is fine, but I found the practical advice too vague a lot of the time. Especially because for most the book it relates these concepts to the business world (interviews, DEI meetings, etc), and then goes in a different direction on the last third of the book to how love/connection is the defining factor for life satisfaction/health/happiness. None is his advice is innovative and it feels like a lot of it is already done by people who always need to think about how they exist in the world and how the way they communicate with others impacts their treatment (e.g., women, people of colour, neurodivergent people).
