The power of us : harnessing our shared identities for personal and collective success
Van Bavel, Jay J.2022
Book
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 this book, 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; galvanise others to solve controversial global problems.
