Superconnector is a book that aims to get people to “Stop networking and start connecting.” The authors, Scott Gerber and Ryan Paugh, contend that the old way of networking, simply collecting names and business cards instead of really connecting and building relationships, is an outdated and ineffective waste of time. 

The book talks about their experience of being what they call Superconnectors, or people that understand the power of deep relationships and powerful, meaningful connection.  

I listened to the audiobook version and it offers some great insights and ideas. I like the idea of habitual generosity, as well as their recommendation to host and plan unique events that bring together smart, interesting people, for no other reason than the belief that they should know each other. (and, of course, when smart and interesting people get together, great things often happen). 

I’ve been thinking about the concepts in this book quite a bit, lately, and will be putting them into practice. If you’re interested to learn more, the book as available here (Amazon link):
