Summary

You probably know the many ways supermarkets use psychology to get you to spend more money. Well it turns out that airports do the same thing.

It just is the way it is. And yet meeting and spending time with strangers and people NOT like you can have tremendous benefits. Strategy and innovation consultant Alan Gregerman, author of the book The Necessity of Strangers (https://amzn.to/2NkRxX5) explores the importance and payoffs of being around people who are different than you.
