{"product_id":"power-paradox-book-dacher-keltner-9781846146954","title":"The Power Paradox","description":"A revolutionary rethinking of everything we know about power  It  shapes every interaction we have, whether we're trying to get a  two-year-old to eat green vegetables or ask for a promotion at work. But  how do we really gain power? And what does it do to us?  As  renowned psychologist Dacher Keltner reveals, the new science of power  shows that our Machiavellian view of status is wrong. Influence comes  not to those who are ruthless, but to those with socially intelligence  and empathy. Yet, ironically, the seductions of success lead us to lose  those very qualities that made us powerful in the first place. Keltner  draws on fascinating case studies to illuminate this 'power paradox',  revealing how it shapes not just companies and elections but everyday  relationships. As his myth-busting research shows, power - and  powerlessness - distorts our behaviour, affecting whether or not we will  have an affair, break the law, drive recklessly or find our purpose in  life.  In twenty original 'power principles', Keltner shows how we  can retain power by maintaining a focus on others. By redefining power  as the ability to do good, The Power Paradox turns everything we know about influence, status and inequality upside down.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516726419729,"sku":"GOR007414029","price":15.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52989627400465,"sku":"GOR009921617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184614695X.jpg?v=1751185623","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/power-paradox-book-dacher-keltner-9781846146954","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
