Pals, Allies, and Companions | Malcolm Gladwell and Adam Grant Live

Recorded live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Malcolm Gladwell interviews Adam Grant about his new book, Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World. They explore a framework of three relationship types—pals, allies, and companions—and discuss why frenemies may be worse for your health than enemies. They also consider why dating algorithms can't find your soulmate. Gladwell offers a grand unified theory that each of Grant's books has been a nerd manifesto, and they touch on how nerds build community in their own ways.
