Written for teens and young adults to read themselves about how the
social mind is expected to work in order to effectively relate to
others at school, at work, in the community and even at home. Since
there is relatively little information on how to talk about social
information, this book redefines what it means to be social and it is
likely not what you were thinking! This book is a get real discussion
about what really goes on inside the mind of people as we share space
together. There are many practical strategies to help the reader
figure out what type of impression they are making on others and what
things they could work on to be more successful. Who doesnt think
they could improve in these skills? From discussing the ins and outs
of what it means to be a Social Thinker and use related social
skills, to figuring out texting, dating, the many different levels of
friendship and the many and varied emotions we experience as we
relate to others, the authors describe the real world of being with
other people. This includes figuring out how to sometimes just "fake
it better! The authors are not trying to get every reader to find a
group to hang out with; instead they are providing information to
help each person find their place and be appreciated by others at
whatever level they feel comfortable with. Parents, teachers and
counselors may also find this book an interesting read as it provides
some ah ha! moments that encourage a deeper discussion with their
older kids about the social world. While we all work on improving our
communication skills, few of us know how to talk about the social
mind and how to cope in our very social world of the classroom,
hanging out, holding a job, chatting on the internet, etc.
