"Three New People is a manifesto on the beauty and power of human connection in a world where loneliness has reached epidemic levels. We're rushed, frazzled, distracted, and frankly, scared to talk to strangers. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if we could easily connect with anyone we meet - on the airplane, at the coffee shop, waiting in line, in the elevator - and take the chance of making a new connection: one that might last for seconds, or for a lifetime? As a child with social anxiety, Brian Miller used magic in order to make friends. Now, as a globetrotting professional magician turned motivational speaker, he presents his secrets for connecting with the people you meet on a daily basis." --,(Source of summary not specified)
