If you’re seeking deeper love, friendship, or community, The Magic of Tiny Moments offers a transcendent path to high-trust, meaningful connection.

In a world where we're lonelier than ever before, artist and researcher Jared Matthew Weiss has uncovered the hidden architecture of human connection. Drawing from behavioral science, neuroscience, and psychology, plus his groundbreaking research spanning 26 countries and 10,000 participants, Weiss offers a simple solution to cultivating better relationships.

Simply, if you're struggling to build meaningful relationships, the problem often isn't a lack of opportunity to connect with others—it's that you haven’t noticed the countless moments of potential connection that surround you every day. Most of us believe that relationships are built and broken in grand gestures and dramatic betrayals. The surprising truth? They're constructed slowly, one tiny moment at a time, through small interactions that make others feel safe, known, and loved.

Drawing from stories of real people from around the world, Weiss introduces the revolutionary "tiny moment loop"—the fundamental architecture behind every human interaction. Through this lens, he presents the “three laws of connection”: recognizing bids, making generous assumptions, and turning towards others.

This Audible Original is filled with evidence-based tools and immediate action steps for:

- Identifying the opportunities for connection already in your orbit every day

- Practicing self-care that leads to positive interactions with others

- Becoming more conscious of the thought patterns that may be hindering your capacity to truly connect with others

- Finding the resolve to forgive other people (and yourself) when things don’t work out the way you’d hoped

- Building your emotional vocabulary

- Creating deeper bonds with family, friends, romantic partners, colleagues, neighbors

- And so much more!

The Magic of Tiny Moments will forever change how you approach relationships. It offers a proven framework for relationship-building that has helped hundreds of people repair fractured family bonds, build communities of friends, grow high-trust corporate cultures, and cultivate lasting romantic relationships.

Whether you're looking to deepen family ties, forge meaningful friendships, enhance romantic intimacy, build team camaraderie, or create a vibrant community, this Audible Original offers a simple but powerful framework for transforming how you show up in all the social interactions of your life.

Because ultimately, the quality of our lives is determined not by the big moments we plan for, but by how we show up for the small moments we're given. The Magic of Tiny Moments will show you exactly how to make those moments count.

Eye-opening and transformative

I absolutely loved this illuminating, thought-provoking, generous work, narrated warmly by its author. I was able to immediately apply the concepts I learned and instantly saw the power it gave me to transform my relationships and more intentionally build community. Weiss has clearly done his research, but he shares the information within an easy-to-follow and inviting framework, as if you're talking over coffee. This was eye-opening, and I've already been recommending it to everyone I know.

Five hours and fifty four minutes to change your life forever

This book has the most pound for pound wisdom than any other book I’ve read. It contains simple yet deep truths that are going to undeniably help me get more— much more— out of my life and relationships. And somehow it’s also simple, straightforward, relatable, heartfelt, and entertaining. I highly highly highly recommend this book!

Heart-Forward, Refreshing and Practical

I loved the depth of heart offered in this book. It was wide reaching in its look at what makes for healthy human connections, but what I loved most were the practical elements offered as gifts - I.e. the look/in-depth look at the 3 laws of connection and the wheel of emotion. The book was very well researched and was created to genuinely be a generous guide. Thanks. Loved it

Fascinating

I have been in therapy for many years and have an interest in psychology in general, so at the start of this book, I was fairly bored. While I can recognize its value for others, it felt like a review for me. I’m so glad I stuck it out and was proven wrong. The material gets increasingly profound, and I found a lot of useful information that has helped me reflect on and examine many of my relationships. It’s a quick listen so I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in growing their capacity for forgiveness, understanding, and love.

Wonderful book that can profoundly change how one approaches relationships!

There were many things to love about this book. The author gives the readers a guide on how one can approach all of the relationships in one's life. It is well researched and the recommendations are straight forward and relatable. Interspersed are true stories that bring home the author's points. He also carries his connection recommendations from the intimate to the larger community, broadening its impact. I can honestly say that this book has helped me to change the way I react and interact with those around me. The concept of making 'generous assumptions' in my relationships is very powerful. This is a book that one wants to read and reread. I very much hope that a print edition will come out soon so I can return to it when needed and remind myself of its basic and broader principles. The author does a great job narrating the book. I highly recommend this book to, well, everyone!
