The Science of Solidarity A L Ranen McLanahan Phd

There is a specific reason why many relationships fail. It's the reason why careers get stuck below their potentials. It's also why we're so likely to be misunderstood by others, many of our professional goals fail, and a society works against itself. That reason is solidarity. Solidarity refers to the general level of respect, understanding, and regard we have for another person or group. As we'll see, it is a far deeper concept than it first appears. A higher level of solidarity makes us seem more intelligent, funny, and attractive. A lower level makes us seem more unrelatable, threatening, and undesirable to have around. This has far reaching consequences for all of us. Without awareness of solidarity, we're more likely to be continuously misunderstood by others. When we understand, it increases our ability to choose what we want for ourselves, our careers, and the organizations we care about most. With stories, humor, and thoughtful research from many fields, The Science of Solidarity will change how you see others and yourself.
