Roz Vogel, 617-432-4807 or rvogel@hms.harvard.edu
The Notable Books Series at the Countway Library of Medicine presents Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives, a lecture by Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, professor of medical sociology, Department of Health Care Policy, and professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Christakis will talk on the topic of his newly released book, Connected. He will explain "why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Connected overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm—that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives." A book signing—books will be sold at the event by the Harvard Coop—and reception will follow.
