Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 of which you're a part. And that fluid identity has a powerful influence over your feelings, beliefs, and behaviours.In THE POWER OF US, psychologists Packer and Van Bavel integrate their own cutting-edge research in psychology, neuroscience and economics to explain what identity really is and show how to harness its dynamic nature to:Increase our productivity - Improve physical and psychological health - Overcome our individual prejudice - Unlock our altruism - Break the political gridlock - Galvanize others to solve controversial global problemsAlong the way, they explain such seemingly unrelated phenomenon as why men cry at football games but not funerals, why the history of slavery in U.S. counties is one of the best predictors of current day racism, and why Canada keeps a national reserve of maple syrup. Packed with fascinating insights, vivid case studies, and pioneering research, THE POWER OF US will change the way you understand yourself - and those around you - forever. A revolutionary new understanding of identity, showing how our group affiliations have a powerful influence on our feelings, beliefs, and behaviour, that can inspire both personal change and social movements.

Hardback. Condition: Good. **As featured on The Oprah Podcast, NPR's Hidden Brain, and in The New York Times** A "fascinating" (Charles Duhigg) and "must-read" (Annie Duke) book about 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 ** &nbsp.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why This Book Had to Be WrittenLife is hard.That's not pessimism. That's math.No matter who you are, where you live, or how carefully you design your life, difficulty will find you. Plans fail. Relationships fracture. Bodies age. Economies wobble. Technology accelerates faster than our ability to psychologically adapt to it. The world changes whether we're ready or not.And if we're honest, it doesn't look like things are getting easier.Modern life has given us extraordinary comfort, but it has also introduced new forms of pressure-constant comparison, information overload, social fragmentation, and a pace of change that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago. The problems aren't disappearing. In many ways, they're multiplying.Which means one uncomfortable conclusion becomes unavoidable: Hardship isn't an exception to life-it's the default condition.The question is not whether adversity will show up.The question is whether you will know what to do with it when it does.For most of my life, I approached hardship the way many people do: something to survive, avoid, or escape as quickly as possible. Difficult moments felt like detours from the "real" path-the smoother, happier version of life I believed I was supposed to be living.But eventually a different pattern began to emerge.The moments that shaped me most were never the easy ones. They were the uncomfortable ones. The confusing ones. The periods where certainty collapsed and I was forced to rethink who I was, what mattered, and how I was going to move forward.The experiences I once wished I could erase ended up becoming the ones that expanded me the most.What I began to realize-slowly, reluctantly, and sometimes painfully-is that adversity carries something hidden inside it: information. It reveals the assumptions you didn't know you were living by. It exposes your weaknesses, but also your untapped strength. It pushes you into perspectives you would never have chosen voluntarily.In other words, hardship is not just something that happens to you.It is something that can shape you, if you allow it.This insight became impossible to ignore as I noticed another pattern alongside it: the people who seemed most grounded, resilient, and capable of making meaningful impact were rarely the ones who had lived the smoothest lives. More often, they were the ones who had encountered the widest range of experiences-different challenges, perspectives, environments, and ways of thinking.Their strength didn't come from avoiding adversity.It came from learning how to extract value from it.That realization sits at the foundation of this book.Because if life is inherently difficult-and evidence suggests it is-then fulfillment cannot come from eliminating hardship. It must come from learning how to relate to hardship differently.From seeing it not purely as an obstacle, but as raw material.This book was written from that perspective. Not as a claim to have everything figured out, but as an exploration of an idea that has proven both ancient and increasingly supported by modern science: that growth, resilience, and meaningful contribution tend to emerge from the very experiences we initially resist.Adversity has the power to break people.But it also has the power to deepen them.The difference lies in whether we can recognize the value hidden inside difficulty-and whether we are willing to engage with it consciously rather than run from it.The pages ahead are an attempt to explore that possibility.Because if life is going to be hard anyway, the most meaningful question we can ask is this: How do we turn those hardships into an advant Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
