The reciprocity of liking effect. What just happened. Hybrid work: how leaders build in-person moments that matter.
Welcome to a new issue of the newsletter, “Journal of discoveries.”
Each week, I check a list of hundreds of sources of inspiration to spot exciting articles, videos, podcasts, and books on personal development, leadership, management, technology, and innovation.

And now, let’s dive in!
One “must” for this week
"The reciprocity of liking effect".
Research shows that knowing someone is attracted to you significantly increases liking. This reciprocity effect can be influenced by sincerity and context. For example, insincere liking is unlikely to be reciprocated.
The origins of the reciprocity effect are grounded in psychological mechanisms that evolved as a solution to problems faced by our ancestors.
This article connects with the “to be interesting, be interested” famous quote from Dale Carnegie.
