Popular: The Power of Likability in a Status-Obsessed World by Mitch Prinstein
4.0
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. I read this book at the suggestion of my mentor who mentioned if would be helpful to understand office dynamics and how to navigate them better.
The overall book is about status vs likability and how we confuse one for another. Additionally the author discusses what true likability looks like and how it affects every bit of our life from basic happiness to success in workplace.
The most surprisingly aspect for me was reflecting on my own life and my unpopularity and how I was able to transcend the box I could have easily stayed in. I think this book would also appeal to parents so they can ensure they’re not raising bullies and ensure they’re likable while maintaining their unique personality.
