Product Overview
If you fear that cultural, political, and class differences are tearing America apart, read this important book. --Jonathan Haidt, Ph.D., author of The Righteous Mind
As the world gets smaller, people from different backgrounds are colliding like never before. Leading cultural psychologists Hazel Markus and Alana Conner reveal how a single culture clash - the clash of independence and interdependence - ignites both global hostilities and daily tensions between regions, races, genders, classes, religions, and organizations. Markus and Conner then show how we can leverage both independence and interdependence to mend the rifts in our communities, workplaces, and schools.
Provocative and entertaining, Clash! offers solutions to many of the problems that plague our workplaces, schools, and relationships. For readers of The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaille and The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki, it doesn't just explain who we are, it also envisions who we could become.
