Honest Signals: How They Shape Our World

The book explores how subtle social signals in our interactions reveal underlying attitudes and intentions, shaping decision-making and collaboration. Alex Pentland emphasizes that these "honest signals," rooted in ancient primate communication, operate as a distinct network separate from verbal language. By understanding these biological cues, we can enhance our ability to predict outcomes in various scenarios, such as job interviews and personal relationships, ultimately improving how we work with others and manage organizations.
