Well, Now: Being a “Likeable Badass” Could Improve Your Health


Listen Later

How do women gain social influence? 

Understanding this is crucial because research shows they often face unique challenges in having their voices heard and their expertise recognized, even in highly qualified fields like medicine. 

The consequences of this could be dire, both for female patients and their healthcare providers.

On this week’s episode of Well, Now, Kavita and Maya talk with psychologist Alison Fragale about the science behind effective social influence. Her new book is Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve.

Podcast production by Vic Whitley-Berry with editorial oversight by Alicia Montgomery.
