Building Trust by Robert C Solomon
Solomon and Flores portray trust as a series of social practices, not merely an attitude toward a person at a time or some sort of vague social 'glue'. This book aims not only to understand trust but to give the reader the tools to build and maintain trust in personal and business relationships.
"This is a book about trust that you can trust to be comprehensive, creative, and interestingly iconoclasticSolomon and Flores argue that trust sustains all forms of human relationships. They claim that without trust-Hobbes would have been right-life would be nasty, brutish, and short! This concise book alters and adds to the debate on trust, and is a gift and a challenge to its readers."-Al Gini, Associate Editor, Business Ethics Quarterly
"Trust is easy to break, hard to build, and more important than ever. Our increasingly fluid, network economy depends on trusting relationships. Solomon and Flores offer valuable insights into the subtle dynamics of trust. It's not as simple as you might think, but their treatment of the topic is lucid and intelligent."-Jay Ogilvy, Co-founder and Managing Director, Global Business Network
"Trust, claim the authors, is an emotional skill that we must first understand and then, practice to achieve. This thoughtful book, more a philosophical soliloquy than a how-to, is organized into three chapters that explore the many meanings of trust, pinpoint the most powerful "authentic" trust, and describe its elements."-Business Reader Review
