ISBN: 9780316538411 - the power of us: harnessing our shared identities to improve performance, increase cooperation, and promote social harmony (43 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. **As featured on The Oprah Podcast, NPR's Hidden Brain, and in The New York Times** Learn how WHAT we believe and HOW we experience the world is shaped by WHO we're around - and how to use that insight to rebuild the trust our institutions, workplaces, and communities depend on. Why has it become so hard to disagree without contempt? Why do smart, well-intentioned people slide into hostility toward neighbors, colleagues, and strangers online--often without realizing it? In The Power of Us, psychologists Jay Van Bavel and Dominic Packer offer a surprising answer: the same psychology that lets us love our families, rally behind causes, and build great teams is the psychology that turns disagreement into contempt. Group identity is the engine of human cooperation--and, left unexamined, the engine of incivility. Understanding how these dynamics work is the first step to changing them. Drawing on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience, Van Bavel and Packer show how a clearer view of identity can help you: *    See past your own hidden biases and make better decisions *    Build trust and cooperation across lines of difference *    Escape echo chambers and resist groupthink *    Lead more effectively by harnessing the power of "we" *    Disagree honestly--without escalating division Along the way, the book reveals why people cling to false beliefs even after they've been disproven, how a shift in identity can turn selfish individuals into generous collaborators, why shared experiences bind us so powerfully, and how modern technology is quietly reshaping who we think we are.   At a moment when contempt too often feels like the default setting of public life, The Power of Us explains how people actually think--and how you can bring out the better instincts in yourself and those around you. ** Recipient of the William James book award from the American Psychological Association and the Social Impact book award from the Center for Moral Understanding ** "fascinating" --Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit  "must-read" Annie Duke, author of Thinking in Bets &nbsp.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. If you're like most people, you probably believe that your identity is stable. But in fact, your identity is constantly changing--often outside your conscious awareness and sometimes even against your wishes--to reflect the interests of the groups you belong to. In The Power of Us, psychologists Dominic Packer and Jay Van Bavel integrate their own cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to explain how identity really works and how to harness its dynamic nature to: Boost cooperation and productivity Overcome bias Escape from echo chambers Break political gridlock Foster dissent and mobilize for change Lead effectively Galvanize action to address persistent global problems Along the way, they explore such seemingly unrelated phenomena as why a small town in Germany spent decades divided by shoes, why beliefs persist after they are disproven, how working together synchronizes our brains, what makes selfish people generous, why effective leaders say "we" a lot, and how playing soccer can reduce age-old conflicts. Understanding how identity works allows people to take control, moving beyond wondering, "Who am I?" to answer instead, "Who do I want to be?" Packed with fascinating insights, vivid case studies, and a wealth of pioneering research, The Power of Us will change the way you understand yourself--and the people around you--forever.…
