#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections

When we vibe with other people, it fuels our happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As face-to-face interaction gives way to digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI and the world becomes more polarised, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing.

To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger and longer bonds, Adam Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly and closeness doesn’t always take time.

Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to 78 marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convenor. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities.

Vibe will change how you interact with people. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better – and help others get better too.

Critic reviews

A deep dive into science of friendship, companionship, and love. Every page is an illumination! The world needs this book now more than ever
A brilliant book about how to create great connections. Reading it is pure joy, and it will bring more joy into your life. If everyone read it, the world would be a more magical place
A master class in building winning teams and lasting bonds. In VIBE, Adam Grant presents an ingenious new approach to being better together. This book is a must-read
Vibe explores one of the most important lessons I learned during my year in space: human connection is not something you find, it’s something you build. It’s a superb book, with compelling insights that are especially relevant in a world where genuine connection is increasingly rare
An indispensable guide for enriching your interactions with loved ones, extended family, coworkers, difficult people, and even strangers. It’s so potent, it might even work for your first encounter with a Space Alien
Adam Grant has focused his enormous brain and loads of research on how we connect to our fellow humans, and the result is informative and compulsively readable. Simply put, the Vibe is immaculate. (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Luis Miranda)
This book is the antidote for an increasingly lonely and disconnected world. It will make you feel truly hopeful about the power of human connection. I can’t imagine a time in our history when we’ve needed Adam Grant’s insights more. (Jacinda Ardern)
Stop saying 'vibe,' Dad (Elena Grant, the author's daughter)
The charming, accessible latest by organizational psychologist Grant takes a potentially unwieldy topic and breaks it down into manageable segments... [R]eaders will find many suggestions for building and improving relationships. Practical and informative advice for understanding and deepening attachments.
