A revolutionary revision of everything we know about power. It shapes every interaction we have, whether we are trying to persuade a two-year-old to eat vegetables, or ask for a promotion at work. How do we truly acquire and maintain power - through coercion or cooperation? What impact does it have on our behavior? And what makes us lose power? Through twenty revolutionary "principles of power," distinguished psychologist Dacher Keltner overturns what we thought we knew about influence and status, redefining power for our times.

Keltner is described as the most interesting psychologist in America. His ideas are expected to spread everywhere. The book sheds light on the dark side of human power, as well as its redeeming characteristics. Everyone can learn from this wise book.

According to Frans de Waal, a lively and fascinating way of describing how true power is like a return to a social investment in others. A much-needed giver of positivity.
