Popular: Finding Happiness and Success in a World That Cares Too Much about the Wrong Kinds of Relationships by Mitch Prinstein

4.0

This was a very well done book. It was presented and explained in a way that was easy to read for someone outside the field, but it also laid out all the research that supports the ideas he presents in the book. The research findings themselves were fascinating, but the advice for how to use that information to benefit yourself, your children, and your other loved ones is the most useful part of the book. This book gave me a better framework for thinking about social interactions at work and in my personal life, my own social media usage, and things I'll want to think about for helping to raise a child or support family members doing so. I highly recommend this to parents, teenagers, and anyone dissatisfied with how their social life has turned out in adulthood.
