Journalist and bestselling author Kate Murphy examines why we get along better with some people than others, and what the science behind our interpersonal relationships says about human nature.

Whether it's at work, on dates, at parties, or in class, there are certain people we meet and 'click' with immediately.

Interpersonal synchrony explains why it's easier to fall in step with some people than others. It's why we end up mirroring each other's mannerisms and speech, and even subconsciously syncing things like heart rate and hormonal activity.

Kate Murphy is a journalist and author of the international bestseller You're Not Listening. In her 2026 book, Why We Click, she dives deep into the science of human connection.
