不管你年纪多大，”受欢迎”这个字眼总是会马上把你拉回到青少年时期。我们总是很容易地记起当时的小圈圈，中学时期的权势等级，谁是最受欢迎与最不受欢迎的人。
本书审视了”受欢迎程度”在我们成长过程中扮演的关键角色，最终，它还影响了我们现今的快乐与成功。年轻时的人气指数，将持续在我们现在的每一场商业会议、社交聚会、私人关系甚至教养孩子当中发挥作用。它甚至以令人惊讶且我们从未察觉的方式，影响我们的DNA、健康与寿命。在人生早期阶段受到欢迎，比儿童智力、家庭背景或者之前的心理学议题，更能预测成人后的我们是否成功与快乐。
然而，并非最受欢迎的人有最好的发展，因为受欢迎不只有一种型态，而且有一些人还搞错了方向。儿童时期想讨喜的习性，有可能终身受用；但是青少年时期，一种新型态的受欢迎出现了，我们突然开始在意周遭情况、权力、影响力与恶名，研究显示，这种型态的受欢迎，将比我们所理解的还要伤害更深。
人类天生就有想要受他人注目的社会冲动，但是我们必须学习以有益且让人满意的方式来掌控这样的冲动。本书根据最新的心理学与神经科学研究，帮助我们为自己与孩子作出最睿智的选择，来追求更有意义、让人满足且有所回报的关系。
