Chapter 1 - Making Connections
page 4
People start with 1 on 1 connections.
page 5
The 3 connections, in the book with pictures or graphlike models:
1. Expansionists are where they just have a bunch of individual relationships or friends.
2. Brokers are when someone has friends that are in difference circles themselves.
3. Converners are when everyone you know seems losely connected and somewhat godly.
page 6
These connections are like different chemicals on the periodic table, all have different properties etc.
page 6-7
When people are "converners" and all losely connected, they are more powerful, a steady source of being, more than expansionists when one only knows individuals who are not connected and brokers when the person has different circles of friends, which are tight knit and not connected to every other person in the scheme.
page 8
I'm sensing that brokers, a number of circles of relationships, tend to get in more fights, perhaps of varying severity, and converners, which are a bunch of more losely connected relationships, aren't as much drama and intensity.
I also think that brokers, a series of circles of relationships, have it down and will be more successful socially in the end and satisfied that way because of the drama and possible complexity. I don't see any one form to be an end ideal in and of itself, not even God.

I was right, she says/claims mixing these groups is what helps in the end.

Networking seems to be something people need to get used to! like Twitter!
page 19
People are authentic or inauthentic. To me that means they can do whatever they want without claiming to be much or they are betting on a lot, maybe too much..
