In today’s episode, we sit down with Adam Grant — Organizational Psychologist & Bestselling Author — the Wharton professor who has spent his career studying how to make work not suck, and author of the new book Vibe.

We discuss why the most selfish takers are often the best fakers, the three wavelengths every relationship runs on (allies, pals and companions), why half the people you call friends don’t see you as one, how dormant ties and “pebbling” revive lost connections, and the 19 words that make anyone open to hard feedback.

If you’ve ever felt surrounded by people and still alone, this conversation will change how you choose and keep your people.
