Summary:
Baristas, mechanics, coworkers--they populate everyone's day, but are often taken for granted. Psychologist Fingerman collaborates with journalist Blau to present the science of casual connection, and chronicles the surprising impact that consequential strangers have on business, creativity, the work environment, and the strength of communities.
