Description

Being able to appreciate and value others -- and knowing that we in turn are appreciated and valued -- is something most of us aspire to. But how can we achieve this in times of crisis and conflict? In conversation with journalist Uta Jungmann, respected social and organizational psychologist Dieter Frey provides numerous answers to this question and makes clear: it is precisely when things become difficult that the power of appreciation becomes visible - as the glue that holds a team together in a company and strengthens it. As a connecting link between people in everyday life, at university, at school, or in the family. For a caring and connected way of interacting in the workplace and in a society threatened by division. Using many examples, the psychologist describes vividly and in an engaging way how appreciation can be used in very concrete terms to build bridges to other people, and how everyone holds a key to difficult situations through it. This is a book for anyone who, in an increasingly polarized society, wants to engage with others more deeply and with more appreciation and consider how this can be fostered at work. In doing so, life and work in a world of upheaval will become more positive, relaxed and fulfilling for everyone.
