Why Chosen
A beautifully written book about the strength and significance of our so-called 'weak ties'. As a close relationships scholar, this body of work reminds me that although traditional methodologies may overlook the people who populate our day-to-day lives, the impact of these consequential strangers in supporting and helping us maintain our closest ties cannot and should not be underestimated.
