Course Description



Have you ever been in a situation where you had to interact in a room full of strangers? Have you ever wished you could make friends with almost anyone almost instantly? Although forming social bonds can appear difficult at times, it is a lot easier when you know some of the psychological science at work. Over the course of eight classes, we will cover step-by-step theoretical and practical application of the science behind human friendship. And when you’re finished, armed with some social principles and a few empirically-tested-friendship-forming-tricks (no that term is not yet copyrighted), you won’t ever feel nervous about forced small talk again.
