James H Fowler: Connected October 8, 2009

James H. Fowler will discuss and sign his book, 'Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives.' Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Drs. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide.
