  Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
  The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
  One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.

  Can you judge a book by its cover?  
  Is a friend in need truly a friend indeed?  
  Does love conquer all?  
  Is no man an island?  
  In Plays Well With Others, Eric Barker dives into these questions, drawing on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, Barker explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends. 
  Leveraging the best evidence available—free of platitudes or magical thinking—Barker analyzes multiple sides of an issue before rendering his verdict. What he’s uncovered is surprising, counterintuitive, and timely—and will change the way you interact in the world and with those around you just when you need it most.
