Opis

A concise account of the power dynamics that shape our life - from the board room to the dinner table, the playground to the bedroom. It shows that everything we thought about power is wrong. Drawing on fascinating case studies that debunk longstanding myths, Keltner redefines power as the ability to do good for others. Everything we know about influence, status, and inequality turns upside down.
