Tato kniha zkoumá nově se rozvíjející vědu o interpersonální synchronii, (nejvýznamnější sociální dynamice, o které většina lidí nikdy neslyšela,) a její zásadní dopady. Interpersonální synchronie je zdánlivě magická, ale nyní vědecky zdokumentovaná tendence lidí vyladit se na společný rytmus. Nejenže podvědomě přizpůsobujeme pohyby, držení těla, výrazy obličeje a gesta ostatním; nedávné technologické průlomy odhalily, že synchronizujeme také srdeční frekvenci, krevní tlak, mozkové vlny, dilataci zornic a hormonální aktivitu. Výsledkem je, že emoce, nálady, postoje a následné chování mohou být stejně nakažlivé jako jakákoli nemoc a mohou mít stejně hluboký dopad na naše zdraví a pohodu. Kniha propojuje vědu, filozofii, literaturu, historii, teorii řízení podniků, popkulturu a spoustu srozumitelných příkladů z reálného světa a vysvětluje, proč být „zajedno“, „na jedné vlně“ nebo s někým „souznít“ nejsou jen fráze. Murphy s charakteristickou zvědavostí, stručností a vtipem odhaluje, jak náš instinkt synchronizovat se s ostatními řídí velkou část našeho chování a jak naše nejhlubší touhy – být známí, obdivovaní, milovaní a propojení – v moderním životě tak často narážejí.
