About this episode
Nicholas Epley's work begins before a conversation starts, when people predict whether reaching out will feel awkward, intrusive, or worthwhile. His new book, A Little More Social, brings together research showing that many ordinary social choices go better than people expect. The payoff is feeling more connected to the world and a lot less lonely.
