This was an interesting take on the power of relationships and networking. I appreciated that business connections were the focus and how some of the scenarios wove a person's career path into his connections. In the business world, as soft skills are being rebranded as essential workplace skills, I think these will become very important skills to have.

I found this piece to be exceptionally well-crafted, and I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to delve into more works by this author. Given its potential popularity among our library patrons, we're certainly looking forward to adding it to our collection

I especially appreciated the last chapter on how to repair connections in different relationships from parents to coworkers.

This book reassured me of what I've always believed: building relationships is the key to succeeding at everything, work, and life. Connected covered everything, from mastering the art of connecting to your purpose, communication skills, and building your village.  Fun to read and insightful.  It's a book everybody should read.

In "Connected," Patricia Bathory explores the vital role of relationships in achieving success and fulfillment. Drawing from her diverse background in business and therapy, Bathory offers practical advice and insights for cultivating authentic connections. Through engaging stories and scientific research, she demonstrates the transformative power of genuine relationships and provides valuable guidance for bridging compatibility gaps and fostering meaningful connections. "Connected" is an inspirational guide for anyone seeking to enhance their personal and professional lives through the art of authentic connection.

I have been wanting to read more books to help my career progression and this was a helpful start to learning more about the people you surround yourself with and how these can impact your happiness.
This isn’t normally the type of book I read so not many I can compare it to but I found the concepts interesting and had evidence behind them so I feel like I can start using these ideas and have similar results.
