Social Mastery – Speed Rapport
I’d like to present a new paradigm in thinking about human relationships. This book focuses on Interpersonal Connection. As infants we first experience connection through our senses – through touch, sight, sound… and our emotions are awaked. The barriers between “self” and “other” are not yet formed at this stage. It’s interesting that infants who are deprived of touch eventually fail to thrive, develop and will eventually stop eating, stop growing, stop making eye contact, withdraw and die. This is how important Connection is. Now Adults are no different. Adults who are deprived of connection eventually become depressed and also lose interest in living.
