"In 'Belonging,' Professor of Psychology and the Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University -- Geoffrey L. Cohen -- applies his and others' groundbreaking research to the myriad problems of communal existence and offers concrete solutions for improving daily life at work, in school, in our homes, and in our communities. We all feel a deep need to belong, but most of us don't fully appreciate that need in others. Often inadvertently, we behave in ways that threaten others' sense of belonging. Yet small acts that establish connection, brief activities such as reflecting on our core values, and a suite of practices that Cohen defines as 'situation-crafting' have been shown to lessen political polarization, improve motivation and performance in school and work, combat racism in our communities, enhance health and well-being, and unleash the potential in ourselves and in our relationships. 'Belonging' is essential for managers, educators, parents, administrators, caregivers, and everyone who wants those around them to thrive."--From publisher.
