<p>We’ve all had that feeling — you meet someone new, and the conversation just flows. You’re in sync. You click. But what’s really happening when that magic occurs?</p>
<p>My guest today is journalist Kate Murphy, author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4bfweCF"><em>Why We Click: The Emerging Science of Interpersonal Synchrony</em></a>, and she says this experience isn’t just a vibe, it’s a measurable physiological phenomenon and the most consequential social dynamic most people have never heard of. In our conversation, we dig into what happens when people click, why syncing with others feels so good, and how it influences everything from friendships to teamwork to romantic relationships. We also talk about why some people have a knack for connection, how you can become more “clickable,” and why video calls are the worst.</p>
