书籍简介

迈克尔·刘易斯、丹尼尔·戈尔曼等倾力推选；美国社会心理学学者20多年研究成果；“20条权力准则”帮助你定义自己的社会地位和权力等级；想要了解如何在集体中获得权力并得到尊重，本书可读！

权力存在于人类社会生活的方方面，你我之间的每一次交流、每一次互动无不流淌着权力塑造的痕迹。对于权力的追寻是人类成功统治世界的本能使然。我们根据自身的优点，包括建立社会网络，关注他人需求，理解、奉献并感激他人的付出，而获得集体赋予我们的权力；但同时当我们大权在握时，又会因为权力膨胀带来的强大物质和精神满足而激发出人类内心贪婪、自私的一面，导致权力的滥用，被迫从权力高层跌落甚至名声扫地。这就是“权力的悖论”，它影响着人类社会生活的每一处细节。

美国心理学会奖项得主达契尔·克特纳研究“权力的悖论”问题长达数十年。在他曾经经历过的数千次社会实验研究中，无不反映了权力对于人类生活的关键影响，它塑造了我们的个性情绪、身份认知、家庭生活、社会地位甚至身体健康状况。通过克特纳呈现的数十个有趣的心理学实验，你可以理解不同领域、不同场合中权力存在和分配的方式，还可以体会到拥有不同层级权力的人的不同情绪及行事准则，他们的权力是怎样在日常生活中包括谈判、逗笑、闲聊的过程里展示出来的，以及这些权力是如何影响整个社会的运作。

无论你是研究社会心理学的专家，还是对权力、地位问题感兴趣的职场人士，亦或是对团队权力的分配和衡量十分关注的管理者，甚至是关心孩子的成长环境及集体中地位所属的家长，通过克特纳总结的“20个权力原则”，你都能找到令自己满意的答案。

There cannot be many business school academics with a hotline to Hollywood. But Dacher Keltner has become something of a go-to guy for Tinseltown since advising on Inside Out ... Prof Keltner is in demand for his work on decoding emotions, which has culminated in a book explaining how people gain and lose power, based on the studies of executive behaviour he has undertaken over 20 years (Financial Times)

Lively and intriguing ... The Power Paradox delivers a much-needed dose of positivity in the study of how managers and leaders can get the best out of their workers and populations (Prospect)

The Westminster old guard sat all around him may not realise it, but Dacher Keltner and his ideas may pose a severe challenge to their way of doing business. And it gets worse: as he and his cohorts render them obsolete, they will rub it in by being nice to them (Archie Bland Guardian)

Dacher Keltner is the most interesting psychologist in America. He's busy changing the minds of Americans about how power works, how inequality works. It's only a matter of time before his ideas spread everywhere. And unlike most psychologists I know, he's not a weirdo (Michael Lewis, author of 'The Big Short', 'Flash Boys', and 'Boomerang')

The Power Paradox brings clarity to our confusion, brimming with evidence-based insights into powerlessness, the selfish uses of power, and the best kind: power that furthers the greater good. Dacher Keltner's brilliant research gives us a lens that lets us see afresh hidden patterns in society, politics, and our own lives. No doubt this will be one of the most significant science books of the decade

Keltner shares insights into many aspects of power, including afternoon tea in Britain and how Lincoln won the presidency ... Provocative and intriguing (Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of 'Half the Sky: How to Change the World')

That power is not taken but given is true for most human relations today. It has ancient roots in primate behavior. Dacher Keltner applies a lifetime of research to this topic, offering a lively description of how true power is like a return on a social investment in others (Frans de Waal, author of 'Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?')

With personal insight and the latest science, Keltner is both realistic and idealistic: The Power Paradox sheds light on human power's dark side, as well as its redeeming qualities. Everyone can learn from this wise book (Susan T. Fiske, Professor of Psychology at Princeton and author of 'Social Cognition')

Dacher Keltner's focus on power as doing good for others is a refreshing change from a Machiavellian perspective and helps us to better understand what the - much more fulfilling - target of ambition should be (Kate Pickett, co-author of 'The Spirit Level')
