The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony
Jay J. Van Bavel; Dominic J. Packer
Little, Brown Spark
2021
sidottu
A "fascinating" (Charles Duhigg) and "must-read" (Annie Duke) "page-turning package" (Publishers Weekly starred review) for understanding identity and showing how our groups have a powerful influence on our feelings, beliefs, and behavior--and can inspire both personal change and social movements. 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 you belong to. In The Power of Us, psychologists Dominic Packer and Jay Van Bavel integrate their own cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to explain how identity really works and how to harness its dynamic nature to: Boost cooperation and productivityOvercome biasEscape from echo chambersBreak political gridlockFoster dissent and mobilize for changeLead effectivelyGalvanize action to address persistent global problems Along the way, they explore such seemingly unrelated phenomena as why a small town in Germany spent decades divided by shoes, why beliefs persist after they are disproven, how working together synchronizes our brains, what makes selfish people generous, why effective leaders say "we" a lot, and how playing soccer can reduce age-old conflicts. Understanding how identity works allows people to take control, moving beyond wondering, "Who am I?" to answer instead, "Who do I want to be?" Packed with fascinating insights, vivid case studies, and a wealth of pioneering research, The Power of Us will change the way you understand yourself--and the people around you--forever.

This book is the fruit of lifelong study through which Jay Shim has pondered the Christian grounding for our lives and an understanding of redemption that encompasses all of God's creation. Dr. Shim's writing honors Biblical revelation from Genesis through Revelation as a wholistic story of salvation; and he expands his theological ideas with contributions from Augustine, Calvin, Kuyper, Bavinck, and contemporary sources. In a God-created world where all of reality is sacred, the author believes our calling as ambassadors of reconciliation and renewal is an effort of freedom and joy.

This practical high-level guidebook offers an in-depth understanding of the newly emerging clinical trial designs in adaptive trial designs and master protocols. Both concise and readable without shying away from technical discussion, the book introduces the most innovative approaches in clinical trial research such as adaptive trial designs, master protocols, platform trial, basket trial, and umbrella trial designs. Featuring a revisionist history of clinical research before moving on to case-study based discussion and practical considerations from collective experience. The book enables readers to understand the strengths and limitations of these novel designs as well as their application to individual areas of research and clinical practice. Supplemented by real-world examples from the recent developments in medical research efficiency instigated by both personalized medicine and high-profile diseases like COVID-19 and cancer. The first book of its kind, it is the go-to resource for medical students and researchers working in clinical trial research.

Earth is expecting yet another ice age-a global whiteout in which little will be saved. In a battle to outrun Mother Nature, the United Nations gathers 35,000 of the world's best and brightest professionals to man a self-contained spaceship they've dubbed the Enterprise. Four miles long and with a radius of more than three-quarters of a mile, the ship has the ability to travel unimaginable distances and make great leaps into the galaxy. When the travelers embark on this epic journey in January of the year 2120, they have no idea what the future holds and what they will find in the far reaches of outer space. Will they meet other intelligent life forms? Will they encounter planets not previously known to them? Should they expect hostile actions? Enterprise and its inhabitants have one clear goal: save humanity from extinction and create a new beginning for mankind. Only time will tell if they are able to save the human race.
